19/01/2016 Lateral torsional buckling checks of the beams

In the latest version of the software, we have added the following new features:

  • Buckling resistance of the beams: the user can now quickly define the lateral restraints of beams as well as all the parameters needed to check the elements
  • Display of the concentrated loads: the user can now view the concentrated loads acting on the beam in a different way from the distributed loads
  • Checks according to the Eurocodes and the National Annexes: the user can now choose to perform the checks even according to the National Annexes of Austria, Germany, United Kingdom and Finland
  • Bug fixing e small improvements

11/12/2015 Optimization of the analysis speed and improvement in the simple wall extended to the floor

In the latest version of the software, we have added the following new features:

  • Analysis optimization for multicore processors: thanks to the optimization, we have improved the software performance; the speed analysis increased up to 200%.
  • Improvement of the simple wall extended to the floor: now the user can view the start and the end points on the top of a simple wall extended to the floor. The user can consequently define the model in a simpler way.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements: the connection safety factor used in the checks of the jointed CLT walls has been modified. The user can now view the instantaneous deformation of the beams for each single load (G, Q snow, etc.) in the main window too. The check of the CLT floors and of the platform frame walls have been improved.

25/11/2015 Improvements in the diaphragms assignment

In the latest version of the software, we have added the following new features:

  • Diaphragm assignment by user: the user can now edit the floor constraints. He can now use the automatic management of the floors or he can assign the individual floors to different diaphragms.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

04/11/2015 Portable license and service classes

In the latest version of the software, we have added the following new features:

  • Portable license: the TimberTech Buildings License can now be activated on up to one computer. The user can, in the moments he needs, “release the license” and activate it, with his log-in information, on another computer.
  • New “Personal Area”: the user can now quickly access to the “Personal Area” from the TimberTech Buildings – Welcome Page. In this way, he can quickly read the main data related to his license (purchase data, expiration date of the updates).
  • Service class: now the user can set the service class of every timber elements of the model
  • Bug fixing e small improvements

27/10/2015 Design according to the Eurocodes

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

  • Check according to the Eurocodes and to the National Annexes: the user can choose between different codes. The software performs checks according to the Eurocodes and the corresponding National Annexes in addition to the checks according to the Italian National Codes.
  • Bug fixing and small improvements

08/09/2015 Design of steel elements

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

  • Check of steel beams and columns: Now you can use steel elements in your project. The program performs check of a designed member under action of any internal forces (normal and shear forces, bending moments) and stability check for columns. A complete archive including the most common steel cross section types (IPE, HEA, HEB e HEM) is made available to the user.
  • Bug fixing e small improvements

17/08/2015 Definition of the limiting values for deflections and visualization of columns in dxf

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

  • Custom limits for deformations: now you can set the limiting values for deflection of every beam and floor.
  • Visualization of columns in the dxf export
  • Materials database expansion and upgrade: we added some new materials such as duo and trio beams. We also added new material: CLT and connections.
  • Bug fixing e small improvements.

13/07/2015 Modal linear dynamic (response spectrum) analysis

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

  • Modal linear dynamic (response spectrum) analysis: added the possibility to perform the linear dynamic analysis. The response of a structure is defined as a combination of many special shapes (modes). The software determines these modes and for each mode, reads a response from the design spectrum, based on the modal frequency and the modal mass. The responces are then combined using a complete quadratic combination to provide an estimate of the total response of the structure.
  • Possibility of selecting which results to print: you can choose which checks to export: only those related to static analysis (vertical loads and wind), those related to static analysis + seismic equivalent static analysis, or those related to static analysis + dynamic (response spectrum) analysis.
  • New graphic theme: we changed the theme and the icons of the software.
  • Bug fixing e small improvements

11/06/2015 Modal Analysis

In the latest version of the software, we added the following new features:

  • Modal Analysis: Added the possibility to calculate and display in graphical and tabular form the modes of vibration of the modeled structures taking into account the deformation of the timber walls and of their the connections.
  • Bug fixing e small improvements
