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.
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| Advantages | |||

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?
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:
With the release of Scia Engineer 2011, a webinar was given about the new Table Editor to the IQ-members. The participants got the opportunity to do some betatesting. All feedback was collected and we decided to extend the table with the top 3 of your demands.

Practical details:
A seminar introducing Scia Engineer was held at our Saudi partner, Maak’s, facilities last October.
The seminar focused on how Scia Engineer enables engineers to save time, money and go beyond analysis and design of structures and really explore the structure. The seminar was well received with attendees from well known companies such as Al Shahin, IBSF and STC.
Firma Nemetschek Scia pořádala 3.11.2011, pro ty z Vás, kteří se nemohli zúčastnit Release days v září tohoto roku, webinář na téma Novinky ve verzi Scia Engineer 2011, během kterého byli účastníci seznámeni s výsledky vývoje software Scia Engineer, s aktuální verzí 2011.
