Top plate, dimension of the support beam.
Hello. The answer might be found through searching or googling, but I've spent some time on it and got tired, so I'm simply starting a new thread. 
I have roof trusses with a maximum support reaction of 37 kN. That is quite a large force due to a deeply recessed roof and therefore a long rafter tail.
There will be a place where I need to transfer load over a door opening, so the load-bearing studs of the wall are at cc600 pbs around the door opening. That is, vertical studs on 1200cc and a 37 kN point load in the middle.
How strong a load-bearing beam should I integrate.
Is there anyone who can calculate or provide an experience-based answer.
I would think that houses in Svealand which are 8 meters wide have about half this load from the roof trusses under normal circumstances, roughly ...

If I can infer anything from the following (or use it at all), it seems like 2 pcs 195x45 or 2 pcs 220x45 are required.

37 kN in cc1200 = 30.8 kN/m in line load.
