Can I please know the name of this software that designs trusses?

I haven't kept up with wood design for a while. A decade or so back, truss shop drawings (design drawings) showed similar information. In these environs each truss manufacturer had his own software. They were often provided by the company that provided the supplier with material.

Thank you! I think this is a software that many designers use. A lot of designers and contractors have sent this type of calculations to me. Same kind of diagrams and the report format and everything. and it looks great too. Just wondering what the software name is

MiTek and Simpson Strong Tie are two that have the software. You need the correct license to produce those calc sheets.

I think most use Mitek software. It is unlikely that it is practical to own for anyone but a truss manufacturer.
For repairs, if needed, I typically use a 2D frame program to get the forces.

Pretty sure that's a drawing from Mitek's software. They use the cumulative dimensions in addition to the panel dimensions.
