I am currently working for the first time on my bachelor's thesis with your add-on: Timber Design. For a multi-story reinforced concrete building, the attic is to be modeled as a timber structure. Existing products such as Binderholz cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements are to be used. I am currently in the modeling phase and wanted to run the calculation in RFEM 6.13.006, but I keep getting an error message stating that kmod and the service class are not defined. Could someone please help me with this?
First of all: please update RFEM 6. Since we continuously improve our program, many issues are usually already resolved in a newer version.
In your specific case, however, this is not a solution. Here, the error message indicates that the combination of your material (Binderholz) with your usage class (1) and your load duration (short/very short) is not defined. The cause for this is the combination of the load classification with the German national annex (which includes LED = "short/very short") and the timber design according to EN 1995 without a national annex (LED = "short/very short" not defined). For troubleshooting, please see the following image and for more information the online manual for the Timber Design add-on.
A small side note: In your case, I was able to retrieve the model from your request via email support. However, it would be better if associated models (without results) were attached directly in the community.
