RF-TIMBER Pro - Dlubal Software

2 Input Data
2. Input Data
The design cases are defined in several input tables. For members and sets of members you
can use the [Pick] function to select them graphically.
When you have started RF-TIMBER Pro, a new window opens where a navigator is displayed
on the left, managing all tables that can be selected currently. The pull-down list above the
navigator contains the design cases that are already available (see chapter 7.1, page 54).
If you open RF-TIMBER Pro in an RFEM structure for the first time, the module imports the
following design relevant data automatically:
• Members and sets of members
• Load cases (LC), load groups (LG) and load combinations (CO)
• Materials
• Cross-sections
• Internal forces (in background, if calculated)
To select a table, click the corresponding entry in the RF-TIMBER Pro navigator or page
through the tables by using the buttons shown on the left. You can also use the function
keys [F2] and [F3] to select the previous or subsequent table.
Click [OK] to save the entered data and quit the add-on module RF-TIMBER Pro. When you
click [Cancel], you quit the module but without saving the data.
2.1 General Data
In table 1.1 General Data, you select the members, sets of members and actions that you
want to design. The tabs are managing the load cases, groups and combinations for the
different designs.
