WoodWorks Database Editor

Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in version 10.1 and may not reflect current program behaviour.

The following changes have been made to the WoodWorks Database Editor program that is accessed from WoodWorks Sizer.

  1. Unit for Modulus of SCL and Nordic Lam (Bug 3413)

    For all structural composite lumber (SCL) materials, and for Nordic Lam glulam, the unit for modulus of elasticity in the Grade Properties dialog was displayed as million psi, when the value shown is in megapascals. It now shows MPa.

  2. SCL Type Input Label (Change 11)

    For SCL materials, the input called Species Group has been renamed SCL Type to reflect what is shown in the dropdown list. The SCL type is used for Simpson Hanger design.

  3. Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)

    The following changes were made for cross laminated timber database files:

    1. Actual and Nominal Size Input (Change 7)

      It is no longer possible to edit the actual or nominal widths b in the Section Properties, as 1000 mm metric width and 12" imperial width are standard sizes used for analysis and design of CLT panels, and not the width of the panel.

    2. Units for Layer Thickness (Change 9)

      The symbol mm has been placed beside input of Longitudinal and Transverse thickness in the Section Properties. Previously no units were shown.

    3. Shear Strength fs (Change 13)

      In the Grade Properties, a single value of rolling shear strength fs is entered rather than two values of shear strength fv for transverse and longitudinal orientations. Rolling shear fs is listed O86 Table 8.2.4 and is the same for both orientations. fs is used for shear resistance using 8.4.4.2, whereas fv had no direct design application. The value of

    4. Units for Stock Length (Change 4)

      The units showing for Stock length in the Section Properties and have been changed to metres from feet. The value showing was in metres, 19.5 m for the default CLT database file.

    5. Spelling of Outermost Layers (Change 1)

      The word outermost was misspelled as outemost in the checkbox for Double parallel outermost layers. This has been corrected.
