RX-TIMBER Continuous Beam

The RX-TIMBER Continuous Beam program is specifically developed for the design of timber continuous beams according to EN 1995‑1‑1 (Eurocode 5) or DIN 1052:2008‑12.

It provides you with extensive features, such as design of different beam types (single-span, continuous, and Gerber beams), automatic generation of wind and snow loads, an extensible material library, and detailed design ratios. The program also supports the fire resistance design and the option to create verifiable printout reports.

Direct import of stp files from various CAD programs

RX-TIMBER DLT | Input

There are various options available for beam modeling. Graphical representations facilitate the geometry input. Modifications are updated automatically. Deflection of cantilevers can be set in the serviceability limit state design, independently of the deflection in the span.

In order to enter permanent loads (for example, roof structure), you can use a comprehensive and extensible material library. Generators integrated in RX-TIMBER Purlin allow for convenient generation of various wind and snow load cases.

Load cases are displayed graphically and superimposed in automatically generated load combinations according to EC 5. This way, the required input data are reduced to a minimum. However, you can enter load specifications manually as well.

RX-TIMBER DLT | Design

In RX-TIMBER Continuous Beam, the following calculation specifications are available:

Design of ULS, SLS, and/or fire resistance
Selection of designs to be performed
Determination of displaying support forces and deformations
Adjusting the recommended limit values for the serviceability limit state
Definition of parameters for fire resistance design according to the simplified method
Optional vibration design

RX-TIMBER DLT | Results

After the calculation, the results of performed designs, including all required intermediate values, are displayed in clearly arranged result tables sorted by various criteria. Since the program displays the intermediate values in detail, the transparency of all designs is ensured. It is possible to display the distribution of internal forces for each x-location of the beam in a separate graphical window. Here, both the deformations and the individual internal forces can be displayed.

Designs with design details and selected result diagrams can be added in the printout report, providing clearly arranged documentation. The printout report can include graphics, descriptions, drawings, and more. Moreover, it is possible to select which calculation data will be covered in the printout.
