Why Simcenter S-Frame Timber?

Simcenter S-Frame Timber helps structural engineers design safe, code-compliant mass timber and hybrid structures faster and with confidence. It combines advanced structural analysis, automated load handling and standards-based timber and steel design into one integrated workflow. Engineers can efficiently model, analyze and verify timber structures while accelerating project delivery across large projects.

Integrated analysis and design workflow

Seamlessly combine 3D structural analysis with timber and steel member design to eliminate data transfers between tools and enable faster design iterations for hybrid structures.

Timber design code compliance requirements

Simcenter S-Frame Timber supports regional timber and steel design standards and automates verification of members and checks. Reduce the risk of non‑compliance and rework while increasing confidence in results.

Streamlined review and documentation

Clear utilization ratios, governing load cases and clause referenced results minimize time spent preparing and checking documentation. Complete your reviews faster with transparent, traceable outputs.

Featured capabilities

Timber structural analysis

Perform first- and second-order structural analysis for any structure. Accurately evaluate internal forces, deflections and stability effects under realistic loading conditions.

Software interface displaying “File,” “Edit,” “Settings,” “View,” “Window,” and “Help.”

Automated load generation and combinations

Generate dead, live, wind, snow and other loads with automatic code-based combinations. This ensures more accurate loading assumptions and saves significant setup time.
