Free construction in space
If one doesn't need to stick to the general rules of wall, ceiling and roof construction, unusual carrying structures and connection details will result. Both practical and spectacular building projects are the result of this, requiring flexible CAD tools in order to keep from hemming in the planner. You need simple, efficient and thought-though functions here, in order to keep planning effort from increasing immensely.
Based on DICAM, the software for free spatial construction, Dietrich's will present several solutions to you for all aspects of engineered timber construction.
Level mullions, defined freely in space, serve as the construction level in order to facilitate area-related construction in 3D. They can also be used to create truss structures. For quick planning of a hall, use several of these trusses and combine them, e.g., with a roof carrying structure.
The comprehensive fitting library with all connectors from renowned manufacturers can be supplemented as desired with self-designed metal parts. Plans for own metal connectors are generated automatically. Timber construction connections such as gusset plates are defined and processed with parameters. There is no need to make new drawings after changes. DC-Calcs, the supplementary Dietrich’s structural engineering software for timber construction, permits comfortable measurement of the timber construction connections and mullions right when entering them.
