Answer: Truss D&E offers many design options not available in other truss software. Some of the options available with Truss D&E are: Choice of many different material libraries, i.e. Knudson, Dale/Incor, Dietrich, Unimast, MSMA, MBCI or create your own material library.

Answer: Yes, the program can be purchased. We do offer a 2-year lease program with the option to buy at the end of the lease agreement.

Answer: Truss D&E has 12 standard libraries along with several proprietary libraries. The standard libraries include: Allied Tube & Conduit, Aluminum Tube, Aluminum Cee, Dale/Incor, Dietrich, Knudson Frame Maker, Knudson Big Cee, MBCI, SSMA Cold Formed Steel, SSMA Stainless 316A, SSMA Stainless 316 _ Hard, and Unimast.

Answer: No, Truss D&E is a single license software. Each package can be used on only one computer.

Answer: Truss D&E can be learned in less than a day, typically in about two hours. Users do not need constant training on the program to stay proficient, once they have become familiar with the program.

Answer: A licensed engineer will still need to approve and stamp the designs made in Truss D&E. Truss D&E does however reduce that time and work required by the engineer.

Answer: Truss D&E is a windows based program. User should have experience with computers and the metal building industry. CAD experience is not necessary to operate Truss D&E. Answer: No, the complete structure does not need to be modeled. Modeling the truss design can be started immediately.

Answer: Yes, the material cost data can be customized and adjusted very easy in Truss D&E since material costs will vary by user and supplier. Answer: Yes, Truss D&E creates additional node points for the offset web. The additional node points create a more exact model of the truss web layout. The program’s offset web analysis automatically accounts for the additional forces created by the offset web condition. Answer: The simple answer is Time.

With a truss-to-truss system, the panels of curtain material move across the distance between one truss and the next. This distance leads to more compact bundles of fabric when the system is uncovered than are possible with gutter-to-gutter. There are three ways to configure the truss-to- truss system. First it can be flat at gutter height, minimizing heated area and making installation easy.

The trusses are designed and engineered to be "site-built". The plans show you how to layout and assemble the trusses in a simple "jig" that you build on the loft floor. Clearly detailed, with easy-to-read step-by-step instructions....we've got it down to a science!!

No. It's actually a little easier because you can stand right up in the second floor to install insulation....and, depending on the size barn you're building, you can get up to R-90 between the trusses!

A truss rod is an adjustable metal rod that sits inside of the neck, underneath the fingerboard. The truss rod is used to adjust for changes in the neck caused by humidity or changing string gauges. Simon & Patrick guitars employ an advanced double-action truss system.

Octetruss, to use the trademarked moniker, is an OCtahedral and TETrahedral complementary grid implemented in such a way as to form a structural truss. A truss is an engineering mechanism for dispersing loads across a relatively long span, to enable coverage of large, primarily horizontal areas with a minimum of underpinning supports (posts). Most trusses appear to be arranged to act independently of one another, whereas the members of an Octetruss are all part of the whole unit.

Trussing with kitchen twine is done to keep the legs of the turkey from splaying during cooking. We recommend an easier approach. Just tuck the ankles of the bird into the pocket of skin at the tail end. Tuck the wings behind the bird. Most of the time, we roast unstuffed birds. Cooking the stuffing in a stuffed bird to a safe internal temperature takes quite a while and usually results in overcooked meat.

Yes we can. This is a chargeable service as it becomes a commercial waste when we have to dispose off it.

Any interested and sincere person who is at least 18 who can meet and agree to do the minimum obligations.

In most cases we will not arrange for our courier to pick the parcel up. If you would like us to arrange a pickup for an item that was ordered in error such as the above FAQ, then the cost of a pickup is ?10. It is only when an item was sent to you in error or has an obvious manufacturers fault that we will arrange a pickup but the item must also be to large to go by Royal Mail.

When the system is being pushed forward or backward, this option reduces the sag on the tarp from 16" to 6". This will help keep the tarp from dragging on the load and should increase the life of the tarp. [ Back to top ]

Yes and No. While there are several brands of truss that will intermate - the holes match up - the mixing of truss from different manufacturers is never recommended because of liability issues.

Bolts. As long as you are using rated "Grade 8" nuts and bolts with substantial washers on both sides of the joint. TMB recommends bolts for most applications.
