SCIA Engineer | Editions
Concept Edition SCIA Engineer
The basic SCIA Engineer Concept Edition is aimed at engineers who are modelling and analysing common structures made of steel or concrete or another material. It is the best choice for daily work. Tools for effective preparation of printouts with tables and pictures and modules for code-checking according to the preferred national code are included. “Active Document” ensures that the printouts are always up-to-date, even after significant modifications of the model.
Professional Edition SCIA Engineer
The SCIA Engineer Professional Edition is ideal for experienced structural engineers who deal with more complex projects. The cooperation with colleagues from other professions involved in the construction process is smooth thanks to included BIM and Workgroup toolbox. This Edition is suitable for projects that require nonlinear, dynamic or stability calculation or where fire resistance must be checked. Steel connections can be designed and checked. General arrangement drawings and detail drawings of connections accompany the impressive 3D visualisation in the engineering report.
“Round-Trip Engineering” with Allplan, direct link with Tekla Structures © and certified IFC 2x3 interface facilitate an effective communication with a whole range of third-party CAD/CAE software.
Expert Edition SCIA Engineer
The SCIA Engineer Expert Edition provides an uncompromising solution for experts who design the most challenging structures and who need an adequate tool. This Edition is a must for engineers who work with prestressed concrete, who need to analyse individual stages of the construction or who must scrutinise time-dependent behaviour of structures.
