Steel/Timber Design

This section contains information on how to design steel and timber elements of a structure.

Note: The design process for members of steel or timber structures is similar.

Before starting the code checking process, it is necessary to define members or groups of members. The verification of these members can then be performed through the Calculations dialog.

The basic workflow is as follows.

1. Use the Definitions dialog to define members or groups of members:
   • Use the Members tab to define the members and their parameters,
   • Use the Groups tab to define sections and parametrized sections for groups of members.
2. Use the Calculations dialog to specify the verification options and the limit states, and then click Calculations.
