Hello,

Without question, structural engineers need a better solution for timber analysis and design.  This continually appears to be one material which has little focus in the software industry...until now.

Dlubal's software programs RFEM and RSTAB provide a complete solution for structural analysis and design of timber member and CLT structures according to the NDS, CSA, and other International Standards. In this newsletter, we want to share with you the timber possibilities with Dlubal Software to finally alleviate your search for a better solution.

Best Regards,

Amy Heilig, PE
