 It is specifically stated that the versions of the CLTdesigner in other languages are translations of the Austrian version. Therefore, any potential dissimilarities with engineering design standards in other countries cannot be ruled out. When differences due to translation are identified, the version in German shall take precedence. It is specifically stated that the versions of the CLTdesigner in other languages are translations of the Austrian version.

-The method of analysis can be chosen within the category **Analysis**. Currently, two approaches are provided: (i) shear analogy method and (ii) Timoshenko beam theory. The number of calculation points of the field can be specified in two ways: either by specifying the number of subdivisions of the fields or by specifying the maximum size of the subdivisions. When selecting the latter one, it needs to be further chosen between the height of the plate (element size according to selected cross-section) and a fixed element size.+The method of analysis can be chosen within the category **Analysis**. Currently, three approaches are provided: (i) shear analogy method(ii) Timoshenko beam theory and (iii) γ-method. The number of calculation points of the field can be specified in two ways: either by specifying the number of subdivisions of the fields or by specifying the maximum size of the subdivisions. When selecting the latter one, it needs to be further chosen between the height of the plate (element size according to selected cross-section) and a fixed element size.

-It is also necessary to specify whether the National Annex should be considered in verification and if so, which one. Furthermore, partial safety factors for the ULS verification need to be specified by selecting either EN, NA or user-defined from a drop-down list.+It is also necessary to specify whether the National Annex should be considered in verification and if so, which one. Furthermore, partial safety factors for the ULS verification need to be specified by selecting either EN, NA or user-defined from a drop-down list. The user also can specify whether the system coefficient k<sub>sys</sub> should be taken into account or not. For the proof of stability, the imperfection coefficient β<sub>c</sub> and the conversion factor mean value to 5% quantile value k<sub>05</sub> as well as the consideration of the shear deformation can be defined here.

 The deformation factors (values according to either TU Graz, EN, NA or user-defined), as well as the limit values for deformation need to specified in the "Deformations" tab within the subsection regarding the SLS verification. By ticking the first box, the weight of the plate g<sub>0</sub> will not be considered in calculation of instantaneous deformation w<sub>inst</sub> at t=0. Furthermore, here can be also specified whether the Base Document should be taken into account in deformation analysis or not. Likewise, here is also given an option to neglect short cantilevers in deformation analysis.    The deformation factors (values according to either TU Graz, EN, NA or user-defined), as well as the limit values for deformation need to specified in the "Deformations" tab within the subsection regarding the SLS verification.
