Modeling Cross-Laminated Timber Structures - Connections

One of the advantages of entering the structure in RFEM is the complete freedom when selecting the geometry. You can easily select a structure where re‑entrant rolling corners are given as shown in the image.

The total length of the structure should be 8 m, the width 5.3 m. Since it is impossible to manufacture and assemble a plate with these dimensions, the plate is divided into three parts.

On the joints, it is important to open the connections for the degree of freedom for rotation. In the case of a wall‑like component, the connection would also have to be defined according to the selected connecting elements in nx and ux, respectively.
