Stand-Alone Programs – Timber Structures

The RX-TIMBER Glued-Laminated Beam program is a specialized for the design of glued-laminated beams. It designs wide-span glulam beams of eight different beam types (parallel, monopitch roof, double tapered beam, and others). It is possible to consider typical stiffening elements for transversal tension; for example, bonded steel bars.

It allows for the ultimate and serviceability limit state design of members and sets of members according to EN 1995‑1‑1 (EC 5) and optionally according to DIN 1052:2008‑12. The program provides an extensive library of material grades, load generators for wind and snow loads, and supports the fire resistance design.

The RX-TIMBER Continuous Beam program is specifically developed for the design of timber continuous beams according to EN 1995‑1‑1 (Eurocode 5) or DIN 1052:2008‑12.

It provides extensive features, such as design of different beam types (single-span, continuous, and Gerber beams), automatic generation of wind and snow loads, an extensible material library, and detailed design ratios. The program also supports the fire resistance design and the option to create verifiable printout reports.

RX-TIMBER Column is a stand-alone structural analysis software for the design of timber columns according to EN 1995‑1‑1 (EC 5) or DIN 1052:2008‑12. It allows for timber design of various column types, providing an extensive material library and detailed setting options for the fire resistance design.

Further features include the definition of limit deformations for the serviceability limit state design checks, the determination of design ratios and support forces, as well as the generation of wind and snow loads. The software also allows you to create a verifiable printout report.

RX-TIMBER Purlin performs the ultimate and the serviceability limit state designs as well as fire resistance analysis of beams according to EN 1995‑1‑1 or DIN 1052:2008‑12.

In addition to the automatic and precise generation of loads, including the corresponding combinations of the respective cases, this program allows you to calculate the necessary fasteners in the coupling area.

RX-TIMBER Frame allows for the design of various geometry shapes, such as symmetrical/asymmetrical half-frames, columns inclined inside/outside, and connectors with/without. It is possible to define the orientation of the lamellas grain. Furthermore, it provides a simple geometry input, automatic generation of wind and snow loads, as well as the generation of necessary combinations for the ultimate limit state, the serviceability limit state, and the fire resistance design.

The software includes an extensive and extensible material library, a library of permanent loads, assignment to service classes, and specification of imposed load categories. It allows for the determination of design ratios, support forces, and deformations, provides colored relation scales in the result windows, and direct data export to MS Excel, as well as a DXF interface for creating production documents in CAD.

The RX-TIMBER Brace program allows you to design stiffening truss bracing in timber structures according to EN 1995‑1‑1 (EC 5) or DIN 1052:2008‑12. It provides a wide range of features, such as design of various roof shapes with a free selection of stiffening diagonals, easy geometry input, automatic generation of wind loads, and the options to cerate the necessary combinations for the ultimate limit state, the serviceability limit state, and the fire resistance design.

Further features include an extensive material library, the determination of design ratios, support forces and deformations, and colored relation scales in result windows.

RX-TIMBER Roof is a special software for the design of timber roofs according to EN 1995‑1‑1 and other national standards. The main features include the design of various roof types, such as flat, monopitch, and duopitch roofs, automatic load generation, the options to create necessary combinations for various design checks, and a user-defined material library.

The software also allows you to easily enter geometry, determine design ratios, support forces and deformations, as well as colored reference scales in result windows.
