We do not offer a formal training program for MecaWind. Most of the questions we receive on MecaWind are really more related to interpretations of the ASCE 7 standard. There are training programs offered for ASCE 7 if you visit www.asce.org.
The other reason we don't offer a class is most users design some specific structures or components (i.e. Windows, doors, solar panels, signs, etc..), and they really only want training on the elements that are most applicable to them. Rather than provide a training program where the designer may only be interested in 10% of the content, we have instead focused on publishing articles on specific topics, so that the user may find an article that is more closely related to their specific question(s). Here are some resources that we offer, and both can be searched to find a specific topic:
* We have a knowledge base which can be searched for many topics
* Published wind related articles that explain in more detail the use of ASCE 7 and MecaWind for specific elements.
* A help manual is in the software.
* If you are in the software and unsure what a field means, then put your mouse over the cell and wait a second, and help will pop up giving information:
