Current Projects 

Acronym Software was established in 1986 to develop powerful and easy-to-use applications for structural engineers. We are working on the following projects:

WoodWorks Wood Design Software:

Continuing development of the WoodWorks Design Office structural package in partnership with the Canadian Wood Council. It consists of

• WoodWorks Shearwalls, which designs structures to be resistant to high winds and earthquakes.
• WoodWorks Sizer, which designs wooden members and the structures composed of them for gravity loads.
• WoodWorks Connections, which designs steel connectors joining wooden members

We are working on an ongoing initiative to unify the function of Sizer and Shearwalls into a comprehensive structural design package.

LoadWorks Engineering Loads Generator:

A new program to generate wind and seismic loads on a building of any type.

MASS Masonry Design Software:

Acronym develops the MASS program, masonry design package for the Canada Masonry Design Centre and the Canadian Concrete Masonry Producers Association.

Customized Structural Software:

Customized structural engineering software for building component manufacturers. Currently we are working on

• Customized versions of WoodWorks Sizer for I-joist, glulam and structural composite lumber manufacturers.
