Model for the Simulation of the Volume Yield When Sawing Acording to the new Sawing Pattern "StarSawing". by Lena Nordfors Dick Sandberg A new sawing pattern has been introduced by the Departtnent of Wood Technology and Processing, of the Royal Institute of Technology. The sawing pattern results in sawn pieces with rectangular as well as triangular cross sections. A new computer-based simulation program has been developed in order to study the volume yield produced from the new method of sawing. Logs described with a high geometrical resolution in the OPTSAW system are indata to the program. The pieces are sawn without wane and the pieces with a rectangular cross section are sawn with traditional dimensions. The resulting total volume yield...
