Nordic Sizer

Sizer

WoodWorks® Sizer is a software program that can be used to design entire structures or single members (joists, beams, columns and studs) using the full range of engineered wood products: glulam, prefabricated wood I‐joists, and structural composite lumber.

For sizing wood beams:

  • Analyzes and designs simple and/or multiple span beams with cantilevers
  • Automatically patterns live loads for multiple span beams
  • Beams may be horizontal, sloped or have an oblique angle
  • Specify deflection limits, lateral bracing, notch dimensions
  • Species, grade, width, thickness and number of plys may all be specified as ’unknown’ in the input ‐ a list of suggested sections showing all the possibilities for a given span and loading arrangement will automatically be generated
  • Analyzes and designs columns and studs in load‐bearing applications
  • Columns may be designed for combined bending and axial loads

Please note that an updated version including glued laminated timber decking and cross-laminated timber panels will be available soon. A notice will be sent to all users.
