Working closely with Australian Standards, Wesbeam and its software engineering consultants developed a highly accurate, easy to use modeling tool that helps reduce design time.
“We have worked closely with our software engineers to upgrade e-house to include additional features and capabilities,” Wesbeam Marketing Director Denis Cullity said.
“These features mean it is easier to design and specify Wesbeam LVL.”
The e-house software includes a ‘one touch update’ facility that allows the user to be upgraded automatically as the software continually improves its features and functionality. Easy to use graphics with 3D drawings have also been included.
To ensure that e-house is a comprehensive design tool, the software has 55 member types available to design as well as the capacity to load multiple wood based structural products.
A powerful sorting function enables outputs to be sorted by product, price, strength or stiffness, giving the user maximum flexibility.
“The output sheet can also be tailored to the user’s requirements,” Denis said.
“Prices can be linked to products, and company logos, contact details and indicative pricing can all be added to the output sheet if required.”
All of the features of e-house create a strong platform for the future development of the program.
“e-house is the fastest way to design and specify LVL, with the added security of knowlng you are fully supported by Wesbeam’s technical team,” Denis said.
