STACKDES and MECAWind are stand-alone windows based software. 

                             

Stack Related Software
	Brief Description: (English and Metric Units) STACKDES is a stand-alone executable program that performs the overall structural analysis of Self Supported or Guy Wire Supported Steel Stacks..  It uses a stiffness matrix to completely model the stack and it's loadings, and then applies the appropriate acceptance criteria based upon the user selected design code.  The program also calculates the natural frequency of the structure so that the dynamic along wind and dynamic across wind (vortex) loads can be applied to the stack.   Click here for more information
Wind Related Software
	Brief Description: (English Units Only) Calculates wind pressures per ASCE 7 "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures" for All types of buildings and structures. Performs Gust calculations for Rigid and  flexible structures, with the gust factor for flexible structures based upon the natural frequency and damping of the structure. Also calculates the topographic factors and provides a comprehensive list of all shape factors for the structure and attachments. Click here for more information
