Question
Which cross-sections can I design in the RF‑/TIMBER Pro add-on module?Answer
Basically, all cross-sections of the massive and hybrid cross-section groups can be designed in the RF‑/TIMBER Pro add-on module. In Figure 01, they are displayed on the right.
In the case of more complex asymmetric cross-section shapes, a user-defined adjustment of the allowable angle of principal axes may be necessary in the add-on module (see Figure 02).

Calculating Timber Panel Walls | 2. Stiffness and Slip of a Wall
The calculation of timber panels is carried out on simplified member or surface structures.
The cross-section resistance design analyzes tension and compression along the grain, bending, bending and tension/compression as well as the strength in shear due to shear force.
The design of structural components at risk of buckling or lateral-torsional buckling is performed according to the Equivalent Member Method and considers the systematic axial compression, bending with and without compressive force as well as bending and tension. Deflection of inner spans and cantilevers is compared to the maximal allowable deflection.
Separate design cases allow for a flexible and stability analysis of members, sets of members, and loads.
Design-relevant parameters such as the stability analysis type, member slendernesses, and limit deflections can be freely adjusted.
- After the design with RF‑/TIMBER Pro, I optimized a cross-section. Why is the utilization of the optimized cross-section exceeded now?
- I have defined a notch on a support. Why is it not taken into account for the reduction factor kv?
- Is it possible to display stresses of hybrid timber cross-sections in RFEM and RSTAB?
- Which cross-sections can I design in the RF‑/TIMBER Pro add-on module?
- Is it possible to import effective lengths from RF‑STABILITY or RSBUCK in RF‑/TIMBER Pro?
- How is it possible to consider edge lamellas of a glued-laminated beam?
- I can not calculate members with double rectangular cross-sections and linearly variable cross-section height in the HolzPro add-on module. What is the reason?
- How are the signs for the release results of a line release and line hinges interpreted?
- How can I create a curved or arched section?
- Is it possible to design the support pressure or the compression perpendicular to the grain in RX‑TIMBER?
