Get started with a comprehensive approach to diaphragm design by defining forces, material properties, and applying Eurocode 5 parameters. Begin by defining the input forces acting on the diaphragm in the X-direction and selecting screw types for stiffness calculations. Setting the geometry and orientation of the diaphragm in the user inputs, type of panel connections, and panel width with the technical information from CLT suppliers. Input forces for both ULS and SLS, considering force direction. Understand in-plane shear values, required lamination data, and key design parameters for Eurocode 5. Finally, analyze deflection results, the underlying theory, action forces, and strength checks to ensure a precise and efficient design.
