Surface Area<br />
The program indicates the surface area of the respective parts in relation to the total length.<br />
The surface area is determined from the Surface of the cross-sections. You can find and<br />
check the relevant entry in the cross-section information, available in table 1.3 and tables<br />
2.1 to 2.5 (see Figure 2.12, page 18).<br />
Volume<br />
The volume of a part is determined from the cross-sectional area and the total length.<br />
Unit Weight<br />
The Unit Weight of the cross-section represents the mass in relation to the length of one<br />
meter. For tapered cross-sections, the program averages both cross-section properties.<br />
Weight<br />
The values of this column are determined from the product of the entries in column C and G.<br />
Total Weight<br />
The final column indicates the total weight of the respective part.<br />
Sum<br />
At the bottom of the list, you find a summary showing the sums of column B, D, E, F and I.<br />
The results output in the Tot Weight column gives information about the overall timber<br />
mass that is required.<br />
4.10 Parts List by Set of Members<br />
Figure 4.10: Table 4.2 Parts List by Set of Members<br />
The final table is displayed when you have selected at least one set of members for the design.<br />
It offers you a summarizing parts list for an entire structural group, e.g. a chord.<br />
Details on the table columns can be found in the previous chapter 4.9. When different<br />
cross-sections are used in the set of members, the program averages the surface area, the<br />
volume and the unit weight.<br />
