Amazing SCIA structural engineering projects
Biological Control Laboratory
The presented project is an EMBRAPA laboratory for biological control.
Bascule Bridge
The movable bridge is of the Scherzer type, it spans 50 m and has a width of 16 m, making it one of the largest of its kind.
Bridge over Rhine River
The bridge is 290 m long. It consists of 2 bowstring bridges measuring 145 m each, the steel deck is 15 m wide and weighs 1,450 tons.
Snowman
The engineering office Atelier P.H.A. analysed the complete 3D model of the snowman structure in SCIA Engineer.
Ropeway Lattice Tower
The Penken 3S lift marks another ‘world first’ from Doppelmayr/Garaventa: as the first of its kind to incorporate a curved alignment.
National Music Centre, Calgary, Canada
The freeform architectural design made it a challenge to use traditional structural analysis software on that project. With SCIA Engineer, KPFF were able import and reuse the architectural model, derive an analysis model, and the automatic meshing capabilities provided a mesh that was clean.
Unifying Precision and Performance
SCIA Engineer 25 delivers powerful new features in vibration analysis, stability analysis, 3D wind load generation, and construction stages, along with full compliance with the latest American design codes.
The SCIA User Contest 2023 book is now available
With our SCIA User contest, we bring together all the success and results with SCIA Engineer. Together, they inspire and empower us to innovate and to provide our customers with the tool that enables them to do anything they aspire.
SCIA merges with Allplan and FRILO
SCIA, ALLPLAN and FRILO are joining forces to strengthen their delivery capabilities, drive innovation and offer powerful end-to-end design to build workflows, with a strong emphasis on structural engineering. A new and combined go to market approach will accelerate the path to data-driven multi-material design and prefabrication, providing significant productivity benefits for customers. All three companies are part of the Nemetschek Group.
SCIA - Cutting-edge software
SCIA Engineer is a powerful tool for our applications, combining sophisticated methods of structural analysis with a very user friendly graphical interface – and with a technical support team we can count on.
