RF-TIMBER Pro - Dlubal Software

2 Input Data
Figure 2.11: Dialog box Solid Sections - Rectangle
If the cross-sections set in RF-TIMBER Pro are different from the ones used in RFEM, both
cross-sections are displayed in the graphic in the right part of the table. The designs for the
cross-section selected in RF-TIMBER Pro will be performed with the internal forces of RFEM.
Member with tapered cross-section
For tapered members with different cross-sections at the member start and member end,
the module displays both cross-section numbers, in accordance with the definition in RFEM,
in two table rows.
RF-TIMBER Pro is also able to design tapered members provided that the same cross-section
type is defined for the start and the end cross-section. A taper design requires additional
specifications in table 1.7 (see chapter 2.7, page 26).
Info about cross-section
The cross-section properties and stress points including numbering can be accessed in a
separate dialog box: Select the relevant cross-section in table 1.3, and then click the [Info]
button to open the dialog box Info about cross-section.
