Beaver
ADDON. Version 1.0.7.4. Released on 21-Dec-2023. Provides 31 components. Created by João Pini, Márcio Sartorelli, Renan Prandini. Features 0 video tutorials.
Beaver is a tool that allows timber engineering procedures to be executed in computational design workflows. The tool was developed following the “Eurocode5 - Design of Timber Structures” for verifying frame cross-sections, deformations and design of fastener-type timber connections. Also, Beaver is now fully integrated to Karamba3D.
2. Connection
| Fastener (Fast) Creates Beaver fastener element for assembly into a Beaver connection element | |
| CrossScrews Assembles a cross screws connection based on two timber frame elements and an angle | |
| SemiRigidConnection Assembles the connection spacings to be used in the connection analysis | |
| Axial Connection Spacings (Spacings) Assembles the connection spacings to be used in the connection analysis. It will also tell you whether the spacings satisfy the requirements. | |
| Timber to Steel Connection (T2S) Assembles a timber to steel Beaver connection | |
| Timber to Timber Connection (T2T) Assembles a timber to timber connection | |
| Shear Connection Spacings (Spacings) Assembles the connection spacings to be used in the connection analysis |
1. Frame
| Displamcements (Disp) Creates a displacement object for assigning it to a TimberFrame Point | |
| Force Creates a force object for assigning it to a TimberFrame Point | |
| TimberFramePoint (FramePoint) Definition of a single timber frame point | |
| CrossSection (CS) Computes a Beaver Crossection | |
| Material (BMat) Creates a Beaver Material with properties needed to ULS checks | |
| TimberFrame Definition of a Timber Frame element |
4. Results
| CrossSectionOptimizer This component will get a TimberFramePoint and optimize its CrossSection to meet a target utilization factor using ULS verifications | |
| FastenerDecompose Decomposes a fastener into its calculated properties. This is useful for checking calculated values in a connection or double-checking parameters | |
| CrossSectionCapacity This component will take a TimberFramePoint and calculate its ultimate limit capacity. | |
| TimberFrameView (timberFrameView) This component will calculate your model and display the results according to the selected Utype input. | |
| ViewNumericResults (NumericResults) Displays numerical results on timber frame | |
| VisualizeCriticalCheck (CriticalCheck) Displays the critical utilization of the timber frames based in colors |
0. Parameters
| Spacing Fastener Spacing | |

| T2TCapacity (SConnection) T2TCapacity | |
| Cross Section (CroSec) Timber Cross Section | |
| Displacement Nodal Displacement | |
| ConnectionAxial (SConnection) ConnectionAxial |
External
| KarambaToBeaver (K2B) Retrieves TimberFrames from Karamba beams | |
| BeaverToKarambaMaterial (B2Kmat) Converts a Beaver Material into a Karamba Material | |
| Karamba add beaver parameters (B2KBeams) Adds Beaver parameters to a Karamba Beam Element for performing ULS and SLS checks in Beaver | |
| ImportCSVMaterials (ImportCSVMat) Imports a |
Settings
| GetBeaverLicense (Beaver) Calls GetLicense using CloudZoo licenses | |
| CombinationSettings Sets combination values in relation to combination factors |
