Please join Stefan Belmans, Scia Engineer Product Manager, and Mark Flamer, Scia Engineer Technical Lead, for an introduction to the new improvements in Scia Engineer 2011.
We would like to review with you:
- New usability features that make the day-to-day work in Scia Engineer easier
- Solver improvements and a cutting edge optimization technology
- New BIM technology that is helping to improve the model exchange process
- And, Scia Engineer’s new ACI design capabilities
Feel Free to forward this invitation to others in your firm.
See you Friday, December 16!
Concrete is one of the most durable building materials. It provides superior fire resistance, compared with wooden construction and can gain strength over time.

One of the important stages in a project is setting up the engineering report. To handle with this in an efficient way, a lot of Scia Engineer users have self defined document templates which can be re-used in future projects. In this way, a new project report is created in a fast way.

In the early days of computer aided calculations of structures the finite elements used for the analysis were at the centre of attention. The users had to be experts in the finite element method in order to perform accurate calculations. Generation of the finite element mesh was either a completely manual process or, at best, a semiautomatic procedure that required intensive cooperation on the side of the user.

At the last PCI Annual Convention Nemetschek Vectorworks, Nemetschek Scia, StructureWorks, and Tekla teamed up to demonstrate a new integrated model based workflow for the precast industry streamlining the design and production of precast structures.
Today, AECBytes publishes a new progress report on “Industry-Wide National BIM Standard” going into detail on the potential of “openBIM”.
The demonstration shows a sequence of exchanges over a large portion of the precast concrete workflow. While the complexity of the elements was not great, the demonstration showed the benefits that precast concrete software companies can provide to support smooth and effective workflows. It also showed by example how exchange interfaces can support on-the-fly adjustment of exchanges regarding types of geometry, what level of detail to include, and which properties.
An advantage of supporting a set of exchanges is that combinations of exchange components with different functionality are implemented together and can be controlled by the user. Other industry-wide exchanges are now in development, including efforts led by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the American Concrete Institute (ACI).

The Revit-Scia Interface unlocks the full benefits of BIM by providing a bi-directional link from Revit Structure to Nemetschek Scia’s analysis and design solution, Scia Engineer.
What can you import / export?
All types of geometry can be imported and exported from Revit Structure to Scia Engineer including curved walls and slabs, openings and notches in steel beams and holes in slabs- Supports can be exported from Revit to Scia Engineer or added to an imported Revit model in Scia Engineer, then when linked back, updated in Revit
- Loads and combinations can also can be entered and sent from Revit to Scia or added to the Scia Engineer model and linked back to Revit
- All materials are supported in the link, concrete, steel, composite, timber etc.
How do you export from Revit to Scia Engineer?
- Link directly from Revit to Scia if both products are on the same computer. The link will automatically open Scia Engineer whereupon the Revit model will appear
- Models can be exchanged as a whole or users can select parts of the model to be exported in phases to gradually build the model as required within Scia Engineer
- If the products are on different computers the link provides the option to save the model data to a file which can then be sent to another computer or office for import into Scia Engineer
- Changes can be highlighted in Revit after importing back from Scia Engineer to allow monitoring of member size, material or geometric alterations
- In Scia Engineer changes can also be highlighted, accepted or deleted when updating from Revit

Scia Engineer Optimizer is intended for structural engineers, investors, contractors, steel fabricators, prefab producers, … for all those who want to decrease their costs through the optimization of structures. What is common nowadays is the optimization of the dimensions of individual structure parts, but it generally represents a manual iterative process. Scia Engineer Optimizer automates the optimization process and allows for greater variability of the parameters that affect the costs.
Curious? Click here to register for the free webinar about Scia Engineer Optimizer which takes place on Tuesday, December 6, 2011.
What is the content of this webinar?
- Introduction to the optimization of civil engineering structures
- Description of the optimization process with Scia Engineer Optimizer
- Practical optimization examples
Scia Engineer Optimizer is currently the only optimization tool on the market that is based on a standard CAE system (Scia Engineer) and providing for a general optimization of structures resulting in savings in material, energy, labour and other costs through parametric optimization procedure that utilizes the cutting edge mathematical methods to search for the optimal dimensions, boundary conditions or topology of the structure.
Practical details:
- Date: Tuesday, December 6, 2011
- Time: 11:00 AM (CET)
- Duration: (max) 1 hour
- Webinar: Netviewer (link will be sent after registration)
