The program is build up from groups of components based on the structural Eurocodes. You can design structural object based on the different Eurocodes, select National Annexes, adjust parameters, and do design and analysis of frame 2D-structures. Design charts and graphs for use and understanding the Eurocodes are included.
A detailed design report is produced for the designed structural components. Assumptions, graphics, references to the Eurocodes and the National Annexes are shown in the report. The user can select the applicable National Annex. Design code parameters, material values and default values can be adjusted. |

Design of Roofs
Truss rafter roofs
Truss rafter roofs, carpentry connections
Collar roofs
Monopitch roofs
The design is based on a finite element analysis of the truss structure. The truss is considered as a two dimensional frame structure, and the stiffness of the connections is adjusted according to the selected degree of stiffness. The natural frequencies of the roof trusses are computed from a dynamic analysis. |
 |
Automatic generation of truss drawings.
Detailed drawing of the truss structure and the connections are automatically produced. A specialised CAD modulus is included to customise, preview and print the drawings. Export to DXF and PDF files.Structural fire design
Structural fire design is performed for every stress case. The structural fire design is performed according to Eurocode 5, part 1-2, reduced cross section method..Connections properties you can specify are:steel plate type, regular or BMF, plate thickness, the degree of stiffness of connections, the type and size of the connection nails.
You can also select to use single or multiple plates in the joints with more than two members.
Splices are designed automatically for long timber members. |
