Comparing Results with Defined Limit by Using RF-/LIMITS
With the LIMITS module, it is possible to compare the ultimate limit state of members, member ends, nodes, nodal supports and surfaces (RFEM only) on the basis of a defined ultimate limit state. Furthermore, nodal displacements as well as cross-section dimensions can be checked. In this example, the column bases of a carport are to be compared with the maximum allowable forces specified by the manufacturer.

Depending on stiffness, mass, and damping, structures react differently to wind action.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Which Dlubal Software programs can I use to calculate and design timber structures?
- For a truss with the steel lower flange and timber diagonals, I would like to design the connection of the diagonals. Is this possible?
- How many members can be connected to a node in RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber and what is the minimum angle between the members?
- Is it possible to automatically consider the flexibility of the fasteners in the RF-/JOINTS Timber - Steel to Timber module when determining the internal forces?
- How can I change the shear correction factor kcr in RF‑JOINTS Timber - Timber to Timber?
- Can I change the cutting angle for the "Main member only" joint type?
