SCIA Engineer - Fact sheets

Special check of hollow core slabs for shear, splitting, shear and torsion, support conditions and punching according EN 1168 in addition to EN 1992-1-1 and 1992-1-2. Using the general cross-section module, you can define your customized set of hollow core cross-sections.

The Steel Design module offers an interactive tool for section and stability design of steel members. From section classification to interaction checks for the various load effects on a member. ULS checks are executed according to EC3, AISC 360, SIA 263, and NBR 8800 codes.

The cold-formed steel design module for EN 1993 is an extension to the module sensd.01.en Steel design. It enables you to design cold-formed steel elements according to the European standards EN 1993-1-3, EN 1993-1-5, and EN 1993-1-1.

The steel design module Cold-Formed Steel design for the IBC enables the design of cold-formed steel members according to the North American specification AISI NAS S100: 2016. Both section and stability checks are supported as well as special purlin design checks.

SCIA Engineer provides a comprehensive solution for modelling, analysis and design of composite floors. The software automates the two principal tasks that engineers need to tackle with in order to achieve a safe and executable design: structural analysis and code-based design

Composite columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFT) have become increasingly popular. The Composite Steel-Concrete columns EC4 module performs structural design and code-checking of composite columns. It calculates strength, stability and stiffness according to EN 1994 for buildings.

The Steel fire resistance design module provides stress and stability checks for steel members under fire conditions. The checks are performed according to EN 1993-1-2, SIA 263 or NEN 6072, both in the resistance and in the temperature-time domain. The check also follows the recommendations published in ECCS N°111.

Outstanding management of large scaffolding projects with detailed modelling of all scaffolding parts. Large deformations, non-linear stability and various other types of nonlinearities. Specific checks for members and couplers according to EN 12810 and EN 12811, in combination with EC3 and EC9.

The sensd.07 module sets up a bidirectional link with the Frilo BTII solver, where FEM calculations are performed using elements with 7 degrees of freedom per node. This type of element formulation correctly captures warping in the member and any lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) that may occur.

Accurate design of rigid frame connections according to Eurocode 3, taking into account simultaneous action of strong- and weak-axis bending, shear forces and axial forces. Expert System for fast selection of the right solution for the geometry and arrangement of the components in a steel connection.
