wool:BRAZIL (Wind Code NBR 6123) at Mac App Store analyse

wool:BRA (The Wind Tool) is the pocket calculator which determines building response as per the Brazilian national wind-loading code NBR6123 for a 50 year return period. The perfect tool to aid engineering professionals, students and teachers in the calculation and verification of the design of mid-rise and tall-buildings in Brazil. wool:BRA is easily the best thing since the invention of the Boundary Layer Wind-Tunnel + Design your own building and calculate the following responses for wind along two-orthogonal directions: * Base Overturning Moments * Base Shear Forces * Maximum Tip deflection * Torsion + Calculate and plot the following over the height of the building: * Static, Dynamic and Total Wind Loads * Shear Forces * Deflection * Torsion + Easy to use interface with minimal inputs required from the user: * Basic building dimensions (HxLxD) * Mode shape exponents, frequencies of vibration and assumed structural damping (pre-sets available for typical structures) * Upstream terrain category and regional wind speed (with hi-res map of Brazil to aid in the selection of regional wind speed) + Advanced controls available for the experienced engineer: * Topographic Multiplier * Time-average interval of response (ranging from 3 seconds to 1 hour) * Choice between high and low turbulence models * Eccentricity creating torsion * Building density + Outputs important parameters used in the calculation of building response for user reference: * Project velocity * Project dynamic pressure * Drag coefficients * Dynamic amplification factors + Save projects and edit later + SI units + Help Buttons to assist with unknown parameters
