SCIA Engineer - Fact sheets

SCIA Engineer represents a complete tool for the design and checking of reinforced and prestressed structures, enabling the calculation and checking of prestressed and non-prestressed concrete beams, columns, and concrete slabs, even hollow core ones.

“Checks of prestressed beams” is an advanced module for those of you who calculate prestressed beams and construction stages. The module support beams of any cross-section modelled in the “Frame-XZ” or “Frame-XYZ” projects. There is no difference between 2D and 3D-structures

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.

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

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.

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.

This functionality in SCIA Engineer enables you to perform a stability check of pad foundations in accordance with EC-EN 1997-1. You are able to check both the superstructure as the foundations. You can optimize one or more dimensions of the pad foundation.

The Timber design module offers an interactive, semi-automated tool for the design of timber structures according to EN 1995-1-1. Ultimate and serviceability verifications are available for solid and glue laminated timber. Support for 19 National Annexes.

Precise handling of aluminium members by considering all local buckling effects and heat-affected zones, determination of buckling factors and second-order effects, fast checking and compatibility with advanced analysis features, such as various types of nonlinearity, absences, 2D FEM stress analysis of cross-sections
