This chapter describes some menu functions as well as export options for the design results.
7.1 RF-TIMBER Pro Design Cases
Members can be arranged in groups for different design cases. In this way, you can combine
groups of structural components or analyze members with particular design specifications
(for example changed materials, partial safety factors, optimization).
It is no problem to analyze the same member or set of members in different design cases.
The design cases of RF-TIMBER Pro are available in the RFEM work window and can be displayed
like a load case or load group by means of the toolbar list.

To create a new design case,
select New Case on the File menu in the RF-TIMBER Pro add-on module.
The following dialog box appears.

design data.
