Cold Formed Steel Software

[ntpe]

I am looking for some software to size cold formed Cee's & Zee's. Does anyone know of any?

I have used the LGBeamer program and am very happy with it. It is easy to use.

COEngineer:
Have you used the software from the steel network? I have a copy of it, but never installed it. From the documentation I received it appeared to be a "trial version" that was only operational for 30 days, so I never bothered to install it.

RISA 2D/3D has c's and z's in it.

If you know the manufacturer you want to use, some will send you a program to use their materials if you are a designer. Not all. I got one from Scafco. Can't hurt to ask...

marcbSE, to be honest we hardly every specify light gauge framing. But I did have a project that had to use that so I went to that website and ordered the catalog for future use. Someone gave me a call and told me they will also send me the software for free with 2 years of subscription. Free stuff is always good.

Hello.

Last month I downloaded and buyed CFS-Beamdesign, a software available at

http://www.devstruc.com

I used it and was very useful at my work. It´s easy-to-use and potent.

Clark-Western has a free software for sizing light gage steel. Real easy to use and convenient.
