Timber Design
The Timber Design module in FEM-Design helps you find the most suitable timber bar cross-sections and panel types through fast auto-design and utilisation checks according to Eurocode 5.
The module can work with vast array of wood materials from cross laminated timber (CLT), fibre, oriented strand (OSB) and/or particle boards.
The simple User interface helps you examine bar and panel systems in a 3D environment whilst considering the realistic behaviour of wood materials with buckling and fire effects.
