Software tools for designing load-bearing sheets and purlins

Load-bearing sheets

With the Poimu software, you can design load-bearing profiles produced by Ruukki.
Load bearing profiles are designed in the Poimu software as one-metre-wide continuous beams. A Poimu profile must have the same type throughout the construction, but the thickness can vary.

Basic loads such as uniform snow load and wind load can be easily given with a few parameters. Also, more complicated load types, such as snowdrift loads, can be given. The software also calculates fasteners both for the support structure and side overlaps. Fasteners and forces caused by roof stressed skin design can also be calculated.
