Currently, the only code available is NDS 2005.  Since we have to submit our calculations for review, having the appropriate code check/design standard is important.  Currently in Virginia, we are required to use NDS 2015.  Some states require NDS 2018.

One of the newest, coolest hip innovations in wood design is Mass Timber.  I know Mass Timber or CLT (cross-laminated timber) is a "Hot Topic" in the press.  I'm guessing that 95% or higher of wood-framed projects DO NOT use this innovative system for framing.  So until Bentley has had a chance to add this tool, I would suggest that it would be reasonable to update the wood design capabilities and code checking from the 2005 NDS to something like 2015 and/or 2018.  As long as it is clear that this chapter of the NDS is not included, I don't think you will find much resistance.  Does this make good sense and for Bentley does it make cents?
