Again, use the icon
in the toolbar to create a duplicate of the existing concrete beam with the name wooden beam.
The optimal sizing of the wooden beam can be started by clicking on the
icon. Just as for the concrete beam, you can define the section in terms of its width and height. Moreover you can also pick sections from a profile library and determine the most optimal section within a particular class. This requires of course that you specify in the appropriate strength class. We choose for example the profile group 22 and set the maximum deflection again equal to 1/200.
1•2•Build during the calculation gives the following warning:
The cross-section of the profile is too small to meet the requirement of relative deflection. At the right bottom of 1•2•Build a warning sign is shown. The sections are accompanied by a skull character because the requirements for the resistance and buckling check were not met.
The calculation must be redone with a heavier profile.
