Truss 2D
Basic engineering software for analysis of timber roof structures with punched metal plate fasteners.



Shapes and loads generator
- wide-spread truss shapes and web patterns including arches, frames, spanners etc.
- semi-automatic generating of basic loads such as roofing, ceiling, wind and snow load
- automatic generating of load states combinations
Analysis features
- internal forces analysis based on Finite Element Method (FEM)
- linear and non-linear structural analysis (buckling)
- performance of linear stability analysis to check in plane and out of plane buckling of individual members and to verify stability of the whole structure
- various types of loads such as force, deformation, temperature and self-weight load
- special properties of supports – rotation and shift of supports, spring supports
- analysis members from different materials (steel ties, glued laminated timber)



Structure modelling
- simple automatic entering and editing of symmetric elements and details
- overhangs at supports and peaks of structures
- design of stiffeners and wedges in high stress areas
- automatic generating of splices on long outer members
- automatic design of long lateral braces to prevent web members buckling
- possibility to divide trusses to satisfy transportation needs
- non-structural members and nail plates anywhere in structure
- generating and editing of arches, camber trusses
Design, analysis and check
- supported standards: EN 1995-1-1, ČSN 73 1701, STN 73 1701
- editable timber and nail plates assortment
- various designing modes (automatic, semi-automatic, user)
- use of structure symmetry in all phases
- nail plates check with size and location optimalization to save money
- deflection analysis and check
Outputs
- various templates of output documents such as quotation (bid), structural analysis, manufacturing documentation etc.
- printing of output documents to *.pdf
- projects export to CAD software (DXF, CADWORK...)
- export to angle saws made by STROMAB
