Description

MecaWind is a specialized software tool designed to compute wind loads and pressures on the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS) of various structures, including buildings, towers, chimneys, tanks, solar panels, and more. It adheres to the ASCE 7 standard, which is the benchmark for design loads in the United States and is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The software features multiple iterations of the ASCE 7 standard, as well as the Florida Building Code (FBC), allowing users to access ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and the most current ASCE 7-16. Each version represents a distinct update to the standard, with ASCE 7-16 being the latest and including numerous revisions compared to ASCE 7-10. While ASCE 7-05 is part of the software's offerings, it is less commonly used in contemporary applications across various jurisdictions. This comprehensive suite enables engineers to ensure compliance with the latest building codes and standards for wind load assessments.

Description

Benchmark offers timely natural hazard analysis reports for weather-related events, detailing property-specific loss dates and historical data pertaining to hail, wind, and lightning, all accessible through Verisk platforms like Xactimate and XactAnalysis. Both existing and new users are able to find the Benchmark integration within their claims on XactAnalysis, as well as in the “documents” section of Xactimate. Users can conveniently retrieve the reports by utilizing the “select an action” drop-down menu in XactAnalysis when handling claim assignments. The source of Benchmark's data for both XactAnalysis and Xactimate is Respond™, which equips users with near real-time analysis and forecasting services for weather events, including localized assessments for various natural hazards such as hail, wind, lightning, tornadoes, wildfires, hurricanes, and more. Additionally, the Benchmark database on property-specific natural hazard history offers a thorough and reliable record of both catastrophic and non-catastrophic events, encompassing hail, wind, rain, and lightning, thus providing essential information for effective decision-making. This comprehensive resource ensures that users have the latest and most accurate data at their fingertips for better risk management and response planning.
