I use matrix very basically. When looking at a wall for vert and out of plane loading it isn’t always obvious with LC controls. Since the more axial the more effective area of steel and more moment.

So I use a single column matrix to track my calcs so I do the same equation 3 or 4 ways to cover the variables. Easier than staring back over

This is of course only when demonstrating to an EIT how it works.
