RX-TIMBER Column

RX-TIMBER Column is a stand-alone structural analysis software for the design of timber columns according to EN 1995‑1‑1 (EC 5) or DIN 1052:2008‑12. It allows you to design various types of columns, providing an extensive material library and detailed setting options for the fire resistance design.

Further features include the definition of limit deformations for the serviceability limit state design checks, the determination of design ratios and support forces, as well as the generation of wind and snow loads. The software also allows you to create a verifiable printout report.

RX-TIMBER Column | Input

There are various options available for column modeling. Graphical representations facilitate the geometry input. Modifications are updated automatically. The relevant timber grade of the material can be selected from the material library. The strength classes of glulam, poplar, and softwood timber are available as defined in the respective standards.

Furthermore, it is possible to generate a strength class with user-defined material properties in order to extend the library. The load cases entered can be checked graphically and combined automatically in load combinations.

RX-TIMBER Column | Design

In RX-TIMBER Column, the following calculation settings are available:

Selection of the designs to be performed (ULS, SLS, fire resistance)
Determination of displaying support forces and deformations
Definition of parameters for fire resistance design according to the simplified method

RX-TIMBER Column | 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. Furthermore, it is possible to display the distribution of results for each x-location of the column. This way, 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. It is possible to select which calculation data will be covered in the printout.
