Software Categories > Timber Design

• DOWEL - Finite-element modeler for dowel-type connections (nails, bolts, lag screws, etc.) in wood-wood, wood-steel or any other type of connection material configuration.
• Framing Worx - Software for design of entire building framing system in one 3D model. Import architectural drawings and start laying out framing plans with intuitive tools. Complete load path from roof to foundation. Export of framing plans to CAD. Framing Worx design materials include wood, cold formed steel and structural steel elements.
• MasterBeam Timber Beam Designer - Analysis and design of simple and continuous beams and sub frames with up to 16 spans.
• MasterKey Timber Design - Interactive program providing comprehensive design of timber to BS 5268.
• Timber Design - Written in cooperation with The Engineered Wood Society (APA-EWS), this structural engineering software program analyzes, designs or checks continuous beams or columns with optional cantilevers, simple supports or fixed ends, and handles most any type of loading conditions as well. Load generation is as easy as simply typing in your zip code.
• WoodWorks Sizer - WoodWorks Sizer enables one to size beams, joists, columns and wall studs to meet the CSA O86-01 Standard (Candadian version) or 2005 National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction (US Version).

  It has the following features:

  • Specify dead, live, snow and wind loads
  • Automatically pattern loads
  • Generate a materials take-off summary based on your design
  • Design for point, line, area, triangular, and trapezoidal loads simultaneously
  • Automatically check all load combinations as per [CAN: NBCC 1995] [USA: IBC 2003, ASCE 7-02, UBC 1997]
  • Analyze the critical load cases for reactions at supports, shear, bending, and deflection
  • Generate detailed analysis reports and diagrams
  • Generate a list of acceptable sections for dimension lumber, heavy timbers, glulam, LVL, PSL, or I-joists
  • Use the Materials Database editor to customize the software to your needs
