As of previous versions, users have been able to introduce “Generic” structural timber elements in integrated 3D structures in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D using the “Timber sections” module.
Further features have been added to the “Timber sections” module with the 2017.a version. Now, users can introduce beam-type timber elements in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D. By introducing the timber beams as that type of structural element instead of generic timber beams, allows specific beam checks to be carried out, and use the “Advanced beam editor” to edit and design these elements.
A summarised description of this new feature of the “Timber sections” module can be found in the “Timber beams” section of the new features of CYPECAD.
More information on the introduction, analysis and design of timber beams in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D can be found on the “Timber sections” webpage.
