About

MecaWind is a wind load calculator software used to calculate wind loads and/or wind pressures on the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS) of buildings and many other structures (chimneys, tanks, towers, open signs, closed signs, solar panels, rooftop equipment, canopy, bins, tanks, silos, and free-standing walls). It is based upon the ASCE 7 standard used throughout the United States for design loads, which is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The MecaWind wind load calculator software contains multiple versions of the ASCE 7 standard as well as the Florida Building Code (FBC). For instance, it includes ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and ASCE 7-16, each being a different release of the same standard. The latest version is ASCE 7-16, and many of the changes found from the ASCE 7-10 version to ASCE 7-16 can be found in this article. ASCE 7-05 is also included in MecaWind, but this older version of the standard is used less frequently in jurisdictions.

About

​Spacemaker is an intuitive, collaborative, cloud-based AI software that empowers architects, urban planners, and real estate developers to design high-quality site proposals. It enables users to create 3D massing models of their site and its surroundings using automatic data sets, test site proposals, and receive accurate analyses for over 100 criteria such as noise, wind, sun, and microclimate. Spacemaker streamlines early-stage planning and design workflows with intuitive tools and generative design, allowing for comprehensive feasibility studies and concept design. It offers ready-to-use data sets, smart design tools for fluid 2D and 3D drawing with real-time floor area tallying, and analyses for noise, wind, solar panels, sun, and parking design. Additional features include import and export capabilities with IFC and OBJ formats, automatic area calculations, microclimate analysis, visualization of differences between proposals, apartment generation, view analysis, etc.
