About
MecaWind is a wind load calculator software used to calculate wind loads and/or wind pressures on the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS) of buildings and many other structures (chimneys, tanks, towers, open signs, closed signs, solar panels, rooftop equipment, canopy, bins, tanks, silos, and free-standing walls). It is based upon the ASCE 7 standard used throughout the United States for design loads, which is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The MecaWind wind load calculator software contains multiple versions of the ASCE 7 standard as well as the Florida Building Code (FBC). For instance, it includes ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and ASCE 7-16, each being a different release of the same standard. The latest version is ASCE 7-16, and many of the changes found from the ASCE 7-10 version to ASCE 7-16 can be found in this article. ASCE 7-05 is also included in MecaWind, but this older version of the standard is used less frequently in jurisdictions.

About
Wind is a difficult to grasp. In an urbanized environment, its behavior becomes more complex in contact with buildings, and many effects can occur: speed-ups (Venturi effect), vortices, plunging flows, interference, detachments, etc. The built environment thus creates a microclimate that often causes discomfort for users. To achieve sustainable architecture and urban planning, it is essential to study these aerodynamic phenomena and to integrate them as early as possible in urban projects. its study is more and more requested by project owners in many countries. Its consideration is necessary for the proper development of an outdoor public space and the well-being of users. UrbaWind allows you to compute the wind comfort of pedestrians according to the comfort standards of different countries.
