Modeling Curved Downstand Beams

How can I consider downstand beams in cross-laminated timber structures?


Answer:

In RFEM, downstand beams can be modeled using surfaces and member cross-sections. Curved downstand beams are also easily possible with both systems. For the curved surface, the member is always generated using the automatic member eccentricity to match the thickness spacing of the surface and the member.
