Timber Building Modelling Recommendations with StatiCAD
A practical step-by-step method for creating grid members (edge studs, intermediate studs, top chord beams, band beams, bottom chord beams) inside timber shear walls
Editing Insufficient Elements in a Timber Building with StatiCAD
For Version 9 and Later: Using the 'Select Insufficient Elements' and 'Increase Selected Element Dimensions' options from the Macros menu to resolve deficiencies.
Timber Building Connection Details
In the StatiCAD program, timber building calculations can be performed in compliance with the 2018 earthquake code and the Design, Calculation and Construction Principles for Timber Buildings (ABTHYE) published in the Official Gazette No. 32499 dated 24.03.2024.
Getting Timber Project Drawings in StatiCAD
In the current version, the program provides the foundation setting-out plan, floor plan, formwork plan, and axis-by-axis elevation details for timber project drawings.
Resolving Timber Element Deficiencies
1-Improving timber quality 2-Correct selection of additional loads on slabs The program automatically accounts for the self-weight of timber beams and slabs
Checking Whether Errors Exist in the Analysis
Since timber building systems contain a large number of elements, errors can occur in the finite element analysis when element connections are not made properly. Ch
Determining Timber Classes
As is known, ABTYE 2025 classifies timber elements according to their fm,k value and into softwood or hardwood classes. A classification of timber obtained from some tree species grown in our country is presented below.
Defining Wind and Snow Loads
To account for wind and snow loads in StatiCAD, the option to use timber structure load combinations must be enabled in the Project general settings.
