Hello! Can't find a good calculator to determine the dimension of the load-bearing beam under the wall plate. The trusses will not be placed on top of the studs, so the load-bearing beam needs to support above the window and double doors.
Window opening size = 1010mm
Double door opening size = 1500mm
Is a 195x45 C24 load-bearing beam sufficient above the window, and doubled above the double door?
The roof consists of a cold attic, is heavy, with insulation, tiles, etc. The outer roof is calculated to 0.9kN/m2, the inner roof 0.45kN/m2.
- Truss span: 5050
- 33-degree pitch
- Frame of 195x45 C24
Thanks!

Yes. An accurate calculation requires knowing how the truss loads are distributed more precisely, but if you account for the "worst case," your dimensions are sufficient.
