WoodWorks® Software Design WorkshopVirtual ZOOM MeetingJune 25th, 2021 9am-12pm MSTRegistration: $199.00 + GST Workshop Abstract: The WoodWorks® 2020 Software is a structural engineering software package developed to simplify and enhance the wood design process. It allows designers to experiment and explore the feasibility of using wood in structural applications following the NBC 2015 and the CSA O86-19/14. This ½ day workshop includes a presentation that will discuss the capabilities of WoodWorks® Sizer, WoodWorks® Connections, and the Database Editor. Attendees will also be able to participate in designing wood members and connections by utilizing the WoodWorks® 2020 Software following step-by-step examples presented by the instructors. Registered attendees will be provided with temporary access to WoodWorks® 2020 Sizer and Connections to work through the provided examples and to gain hands-on experience and training.Learning Objectives:At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: <ol><li>	Use WoodWorks® Sizer to size wood beams, joists, rafters, purlins, columns, wall studs and CLT panels individually or as part of the whole structure. </li><li>	Use WoodWorks® Connections to design wood-to-wood, wood-to-concrete, and steel-to-wood connections with bolts, nails, wood screws, lag screws, rivets and shear plates.</li><li>	Add or select materials in the editable database of sawn lumber, structural composite lumber, and steel materials.</li></ol>Topics Covered in this Workshop:WoodWorks® Sizer•	Concept Mode:	o	Automatic load transfer between structural memberso	Transition from concept mode to beam/column mode•	Beam Mode:o	Switch between Metric/Imperial unit systemo	Range of materials such as: sawn lumber, built-up, glulam, CLT, SCL, steel beamo	Model single-span, multi-span, cantilevered, oblique or inclined members o	Different load types and distributionso	Automatic design for patterned loading and concentrated live loadso	Points of Interesto	Analyze all load combinationso	Generate shear, bending, deflection diagramso	Design for bending, shear, deflection, vibration and fire resistanceo	Design for bearing, notches, and Simpson Strong-Tie beam and joist hangers•	Column Mode:o	Model wall studs, columns, CLT wallso	Specify intermediate lateral support and end support (fixed, pinned)o	Add concentric or eccentric compression and lateral loadso	Design for wood members under compression, tension and combined axial and lateral loadingWoodWorks® Connections•	Post and beam connections: beam-to-beam, beam-to-column, column-to-base•	Lapped shear connections: wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, wood-to-concrete •	Specify details of main and side members (diagram)•	Moisture content•	Treatment (fire and preservative incised)•	Load duration factor•	Connection details•	Results reportDatabase Editor•	Add proprietary materials•	Edit geometric and material properties for existing materialsRegister quickly as space is limited to 30 attendees only!WHAT TO BRING:•	Attendees are required to pre-load a computer/laptop with WoodWorks® 2020; after registration confirmation, you will be provided with the download instructions 7 days in advance of the session.Instructors: Canadian Wood Council Technical StaffProgram:	SizerPresenter:	Yang Du, M.A.Sc., E.I.T.Title:	Technical Service Specialist – Structural EngineeringBio:	Completing a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree in Shanghai University (China) in 2013 and a Master of Applied Science degree in Civil Engineering at University of Ottawa in 2016, Yang joined the Canadian Wood Council in 2017 as a Technical Service Specialist.
