Design Settings > Timber

The settings allow you to apply your own set of timber design defaults that broadly apply to all members. These are incorporated into Tedds calculations as default variables, which can then be edited within the calculation if required.

Timber (US regional code)


Setting	Description
Service condition	NDS: Service condition Dry (default) Wet
Temperature range	up to 100 degF (default) 100 degF to 125 degF 125 degF to 150 degF
Is section incised	yes no (default) The incisions made when applying a preservative treatment result in a loss of area and section modulus. When you indicate that the section is incised, appropriate incising factors are applied in the Tedds calculation.
Include long term effects in total load deflection check	Whan a Tedds design is performed for a timber member or group and a total load deflection check has been specified in the timber member properties, this setting is used to control whether long term effects due to creep are included in the check. yes (default) no

Timber (Eurocode)


Setting	Description
Service class	1 (default) 2 3
Individual grade stamp	yes no (default) Depending on the National Annex being worked to, the partial factor for material properties can be reduced when timber has been individually marked.
Include long term effects in total load deflection check	Whan a Tedds design is performed for a timber member or group and a total load deflection check has been specified in the timber member properties, this setting is used to control whether long term effects due to creep are included in the check. yes (default) no
