SCOTTSDALE COLD-FORMED STEEL TOOLBOX

v1.4

Stud Analyzer

The Stud Analyzer determines preliminary design loads for load-bearing and non-load-bearing wall studs. It then lists the standard SFIA studs that can carry those loads.

v2.20

CFS Member Checker

The CFS Member Checker calculates the properties and strength of cold-formed steel studs and tracks. It also gives the coil width for any arbitrary C or U section and the unit weight.  This tool also enables any arbitrary member analysis and comprehensive member checks in accordance with AISI S100-16, BS EN 1993-1-3, CSA 136, and AS/NZS 4600.

v1.0

Coil Analyzer

The Coil Analyzer checks mill test report data against AISI S100-16 to confirm that a steel coil is acceptable for cold-formed framing.

v1.6

Hot-Rolled Member Checker

The Hot-Rolled Member Checker checks hot-rolled steel members for combined axial load and bending to AISC 360-16, AS 4100 and EN 1993-1-1.

v2.0

Seismic Design Parameters

The Seismic Design Parameters tool finds site-specific seismic design values for any location and computes the resulting base and story shears.

v1.5.3

Strong-Axis Truss Designer

The Strong-Axis Truss Designer designs back-to-back cold-formed steel trusses, from geometry and loads through member checks, connections and a steel takeoff.

v1.15

Roof Snow Load Calculator

The Roof Snow Load Calculator determines balanced, minimum, drift, sliding, and unbalanced roof snow loads to ASCE 7-22 Chapter 7. The tool can be deployed for a light-gauge steel or any other building structure.

v1.0

CFS Wall R-Value Calculator

The CFS Wall R-Value Calculator finds the effective R-value and U-factor of cold-formed steel stud walls by the AISI S250-21 method.

v1.0

Deflection Track Thickness Calculator

The Deflection Track Thickness Calculator sizes single deep-leg, slotted and track-within-a-track deflection tracks by the SSMA effective-width method.
