The cross-section data of a SHAPE-THIN section can be documented not only in the printout report with the usual selection options, but also as a short version. With the "Report Summary" option, the current cross-section graphic as well as the most important input and output data are summarized on one page.

At first, the governing joint designs are arranged in groups and displayed with the basic geometry of the joint in the first result window. In the other result windows, you can see all fundamental design details.
Dimensions, material properties, and welds important for the connection construction are displayed immediately and can be printed directly. Similarly, export to DXF-file is enabled. The connections can be visualized in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber module as well as in RFEM/RSTAB.
All graphics can be included in the RFEM/RSTAB printout report or printed directly. Due to the scaled output, an optimal visual check is possible as early as in the design phase.

First, select the joint type and the design standard.
The connected members are imported from the RFEM/RSTAB model. The add-on module automatically checks if all geometry conditions are fulfilled.
In addition, the loads are imported automatically from RFEM/RSTAB. In the Geometry window, you can specify the screw parameters (diameter, length, angle, and so on).

- Design of hinged connections
- Biaxial inclination of the connected member (for example, a jack rafter joint)
- Connection of any number of members on one node for the type "Main member only"
- Screw diameter 6 mm – 12 mm
- Automatic check of the minimum distance between screws
- Optional free definition of screw distances
- Transfer of eccentricity from RFEM/RSTAB
- Crosswise or parallel screw alignment
- Definition of up to 16 screws in a row
- Graphical visualization of joints in the add-on module and in RFEM/RSTAB
- Performing all required designs

In the material library of RFEM, you can find plywood materials according to the US and Canadian standards ANSI/APA PRG 510 Plywood (USA/CAN).
Do I need to add a line hinge/line release for the CLT wall-to-floor connection in the Building Model add-on?
