wool:ISO

wool:ISO (The Wind Tool) is the pocket calculator which determines building response as per the International wind-loading code ISO 4354.

The perfect tool to aid engineering professionals, students and teachers in the calculation and verification of the design of mid-rise and tall-buildings.

wool:ISO is possibly the best thing since the invention of the Boundary Layer Wind-Tunnel

★ Design your own building and calculate along-wind, cross-wind and torsional responses for two wind directions:

* Base Overturning Moments

* Base Shear Forces

* Torsion

* Maximum Tip Deflection

★ Calculate and plot responses over the height of the building:

* Point Loads

* Shear Forces

* Deflection

* Torsion

★ Easy to use interface with minimal inputs required from the user:

* Basic building dimensions (HxLxD)

* Frequencies of vibration, assumed structural damping and mode shape exponents

* Upstream terrain category and regional reference wind speed

★ Advanced controls available for the experienced engineer:

* Time-averaged interval of response (T)

* Building density

★ Outputs important parameters used in the calculation of building response for user reference

★ Save projects and edit later

★ SI Units
