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 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 drawings of the truss structure and the connections are automatically produced. A specialized CAD modulus is included to customize, 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, and the type and size of the connection nails.
You can also select to use single or multiple plates with more than two members in the joints.
Splices are designed automatically for long timber members. |
