Truss 4

Truss sizing software

Developed specifically for the French market for 10 years, Truss4 has been designed in accordance with EC5 and DTU standards. The power of the software makes it possible to calculate and design roofs based on trusses and traditional integrated elements.
In just a few minutes, the user creates a complex building using automatic options or free functions.
The added value of the software comes from its calculation performance. Truss4 adapts to all your projects and offers different calculation hypotheses in order to optimize the quantities of wood and connectors used.
Compatible with the majority of production machines and digital saws in France, the software also allows you to export plans in dxf, sema, cadwork and IFC format to meet all the customer's needs.

Structural modeling

- 3D and 2D structural model
The interface is made up of easy-to-use tools for maximum productivity in a 3D or 2D environment. In a few minutes, your building is created, accompanied by its trusses and its roof plan.

- Predefined templates
The most common truss models are predefined, which allows you to generate a group of trusses in just a few clicks, including hips, penetrations and wind beams.

- General model of farmhouse
The software allows you to design all types of trusses without geometric limitations. The user has an unlimited number of connected elements to design complex joints and adapts his end cuts according to his needs.

Structural analysis

- Support for the latest standards
Truss4 complies with the latest EN1995-1-1 standards, French national annexes and the NF DTU31-3 standard. The software integrates climatic loads automatically by referring to the postal code of the site location.

- Complete structural analysis
The software performs a complete structural analysis for ULS and SLS calculations. This calculation performance makes it possible to simultaneously check trusses, beams, purlins and rafters. The software provides visual information of the results to tell you how to optimize the farm. It is possible to modify the calculation hypothesis in order to benefit as much as possible from the resistance of the wood and the connector and thus obtain the best ratio of performance of the structure and economy of the elements (wood and connectors).

- Design of agricultural buildings
Also efficient for farms on agricultural buildings and very large farms (from 15 m to 40 m). Truss4 calculates large farms according to EC5 and specific standards for agricultural buildings, providing an economical result. The performance of the software makes it possible to modify a farm according to the user's needs to meet the ever-increasing constraints of projects.

Production management

- Production document
The software offers many options for creating manufacturing documents including installation plans, truss production drawings, node details or section plans. The content and appearance of documents can easily be customized according to the needs of each user.

- Connection to digital machines
The software offers numerous export options for CNC machines, automatic saws, presses and laser projection equipment. The program supports up to three saws at the same time and allows work to be distributed between these saws based on optimization criteria.

- Export of CAD files
Truss4 is capable of exporting files in SEMA, CADWORD, AUTOCAD, DXF and BIM/IFC formats.
