New wind software launched


A new software package to help speed up the analysis of wind loading on structures has been launched by the Building Research Establishment. The software has been designed by BRE to help implement a new British Standard for wind loading.

The BRE software package, called BREWS, performs analysis calculations and can accommodate changes in building design. It has also been strucured to provide engineers with a simplified introduction to the new standard BS 6399: Part 2 "Code of Practice for wind loads.

BREWS was developed by BRE working with South Africa-based Building Technology. A trial disk is available.
