LATPRO IRC 2003

LatPro IRC 2003 follows the International Residential Code 2003 to structurally engineer buildings for wind and seismic loads. LatPro IRC allows you to quickly model homes and define their lateral restraint systems without lengthy calculations.

Features:

- Calculates braced wall line required lengths and on center distances directly from the IRC code references. Based on wind and seismic data, LatPro IRC will make sure your building is IRC 2003 compliant.

- Save time with LatPro IRC's inline error checker which will immediately notify you of any design mistakes as you make them.

- A design interface which allows you to see every gridline and wall that you define. Integration with the error checker allows you to quickly find any braced wall lines that don't have the required bracing or on center distances. This simplified design interface allows you to quickly replicate a building from your floor plans without recreating every little detail. An example of the interface is shown below.

- Designs cripple walls and alternate strengthened panels. All bracing adjustments are made based on building information such as number of floors and seismic design categories.

- Roof load and wall load are also analyzed and requirements are adjusted per requirement. If you have a certain amount of load, LatPro will automatically adjust the required bracing for that amount.

- Output allows you to print out a building report ready for review. Various printing options allow customize the information on your print out.

- An active help screen describes all the fields and operations of LatPro, eliminating a long learning curve.

- Models structures up to 3 stories tall plus a cripple wall story.
