This chapter describes the windows that are especially relevant for the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber module. The general input parameters are described in Chapter 2.
The input windows of the add-on module are accessible once you select the material Timber and the joint group Timber to timber connection.
TIP
The module generally requires the connected members to have a pinned joint.
The input always refers to the design case selected in the upper part of the navigator. To change the design case, simply click the relevant entry in the list.
If the entries Load Duration and Service Class and Geometry are missing in the navigator, go to Window 1.2 Nodes and Members and check if the boundary conditions of the node are correct and if load cases are available for the design. For example, it might be necessary to adjust the status of the connected members (see Figure 10.8).
