Mixed wood beam construction - LVL and dimensional lumber

Would be great to be able to design or check multiple ply, sistered, beams constructed of mixed LVL and dimensional lumber. IE - often have to reinforce an existing dimensional lumber beam with an LVL. For example, be able to analyze a (2) 2x8 existing beam with a 1.75x7.25 LVL sistered to it.
