Question
For design, I need the load combinations from 1.00*G + 1.50*Q. How can I generate them automatically?
Answer:
You will find this option in the settings for combination expressions.Here, you can select the "Favorable Permanent Action" option.
On one hand, this generates the combinations with 1.35*G + 1.50*Q. On the other hand, you get the same combinations with 1.00*G + 1.50*Q.
They can then be used in the add-on modules for further design checks.

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.
