Wood-I

One of the most versatile and easy to operate applications available to the engineered wood products industry today, Wood-I delivers competitive high-end results while maintaining a manageable "easy to learn" environment.

Within days, new users can draw and analyze almost any floor or roof using either US (working stress design) or Canadian (limit state design and vibration check) design codes. This application has been developed over many years by highly experienced technicians and engineers from the wood construction industry with a constant, determined focus on efficiency and accuracy.
