Find a variety of structural analysis models of timber connections to download, which you can use for training purposes or for your projects.
Design Software for Structural Timber Connections
Structural FEM Analysis and Design
You get the largest scope of functions with RFEM. The structural analysis software RFEM 5 is the basis of a modular program family. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. Is your project a bit more extensive and includes different elements? The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as to model solid and contact elements.
Structural Frame & Truss Analysis Software
The structural frame and truss analysis software RSTAB 8 has similar functions as the FEA software RFEM 5. However, RSTAB specializes in frame, truss, and beam structures. This special attention implies a particularly clear user interface and simple operation of the software. It is not for nothing that for many years, RSTAB has been the best choice for structural analysis and design of pure structural member models.
Connection Design
Due to a large number of add-on modules, Dlubal Software provides you with a program structure that you can tailor to your needs. Numerous add-on modules for the connection design in steel and timber structures can be found here:
Interfaces for Data Exchange
There are joints and connections to each other not only for your construction projects, but also for Dlubal structural analysis software itself. As Dlubal programs can be integrated seamlessly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The large number of interfaces allows you to exchange the data of digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.
Using the Webservice (a programmable interface), it is possible to read or write data from or to RFEM and RSTAB. That makes your work a lot easier.

Forces by Screw in Main-Connected Beam Joint
RF-/JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber allows you to design main-connected beam joints. This article explains the determination of forces in the screws of a beam connected to a torsionally rigid main beam.
