SCIA Engineer - Fundamentals (Online) - 2 Days
Learn to model and analyse any structural engineering problem with SCIA Engineer. This online training course will introduce new users to SCIA Engineer. You will learn how to analyse typical building structures effectively and review the results of the finite element analysis.
After a general introduction to the new user interface, the training will be based on two practical examples of steel and concrete buildings. The training will cover modelling, loading, and reviewing analysis results. Whilst briefly covering basic member design and reporting tools.
Course Objective
Efficient and autonomous use of SCIA Engineer in everyday structural analysis. Correctly set up projects, effectively model, confidently review the analysis results, and create basic reports. Completion will give attendees an excellent foundation to progress onto more advanced topics.
Who should attend?
Engineers with little to no prior knowledge of SCIA Engineer or those who want to refresh their basic knowledge.
Prerequisites
- Understanding of basic structural engineering principles
- The latest release of SCIA Engineer installed (click here and download the latest release)
- Licence for SCIA Engineer Fundamentals Edition (Concept Edition or higher recommended)
- Training licences can be provided with prior arrangement (Min. 1 day notice required)
