IES Shear Wall Tools Compared

See also: General Product Comparisons.

VisualShearWall

Create shear wall systems with an easy 2D graphical interface.

Flexible, Semi-Rigid and Rigid Diaphragm analysis (FEA).
Create complex diaphragm geometry with openings and varying thickness.
Multiple shear wall materials and thickness in the same model.
Flexible Diaphragms feature Drag Struts and Collectors.
Concise graphical results specific for shear wall systems.
Multi-Story shear wall systems (one floor at a time).
No Design, currently Analysis only
Export to VisualAnalysis for 3D interface.

VisualAnalysis

More advanced capabilities than VisualShearWall, but more complexity.

3D graphical interface.
View structure's deformed shape.
Multi-story shear wall systems all in one model.
Combine gravity and Lateral Force Resisting Systems.
Results and reporting are less specific to shear wall systems.

QuickConcreteWall

Design and detail single-concrete shear walls.

Detailing of Reinforcement.
Design shear walls for applied moments, axial and shear forces.
No analysis results and no wall openings. You specify the loads.

QuickMasonry

Design and detail single-masonry shear walls.

Detailing of Reinforcement.
Design bearing walls, shear walls, pilasters, columns & beams.
No analysis results. You specify applied moments, axial and shear forces.
