Categories of the Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2009
For the 2009 User Contest, the projects will be divided into 7 categories. You can submit one or more projects in any of the categories mentioned below. If in Nemetschek Engineering Group's opinion, your project needs to be classified under another category, other than the one in which you have submitted your project, we will inform you about it.
| | | Category 1: CAE Constructive Elements (Frilo statics, Scia Engineer, MSeries)
Design of building parts with a high technical level or original geometry. It may concern specific slabs, beams, columns, stairs, connections, foundations and or sheet walls... with a level of detail which illustrates the necessity of using dedicated software for this type of structural parts. |
| | | Category 2: CAE Housing & Buildings (Frilo statics, Scia Engineer)
Design of buildings, residences, apartments, roof spans for houses, including high-rise buildings … for which Frilo or Scia modeling, analysis & design software has been used. The originality of the design of the structural work fitting with the architectural design is a decisive factor. |
| | | Category 3: CAE Civil Works (Frilo statics, Scia Engineer)
Any type of structure that fits within civil engineering, at which Frilo or Scia Engineer calculation software has been used. It regards structures including each type of bridge (steel, concrete, suspended bridge …), tunnels, bulkheads, locks, barrages, in short general infrastructure... The level of application of engineering science is decisive.
|
| | | Category 4: CAE Industrial Buildings & Plants (Frilo statics, Scia Engineer)
Design of general steel structures, power plants, frame structures, large span halls and hangars, pre-engineered buildings, metal or aluminum structures … for which Frilo or Scia Engineer design software has been used. The focus is on the size of the structure, and the level of detailing for the steel or aluminum members & connections. |
| | | Category 5: CAE Special Projects (Frilo statics, Scia Engineer)
Design of structures with a particular character. In this category we expect e.g. mechanical projects which often form a part of a larger project (storage tanks, conveyer belts, cold store installations, supporting structures), playground equipment, scaffolds, works of art, cranes, tubular connections, … at which the analysis/design software has been used. To this category also belong stadiums and spectacular roofs. Winning criteria are originality and complexity. |
| | | Category 6: CAD Engineering, Buildings (Allplan Engineering, Allplan Precast, Glaser -isb cad-, Scia steel & concrete manufacturing logistics)
All types of buildings (residential, office, public and industrial buildings) made of concrete (cast-in-place or precast), steel, compound or mixed materials. Of particular interest are projects that distinguish themselves through an innovative design process (e.g. building information modeling) or an integrated teamwork of architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers. Assessment criteria: innovative design process, level of difficulty, size of project, design originality, itness for manufacturing and erection. |
| | | Category 7: CAD Engineering, Engineering work and special structures (Allplan Engineering, Allplan Precast, Glaser -isb cad-, Scia steel & concrete manufacturing logistics)
Engineering work and special structures such as bridges, tunnels, dams, tanks, silos, towers etc. made of concrete (cast-in-place or precast), steel, compound or mixed materials. Of particular interest are projects that distinguish themselves through an innovative design process (e.g. building information modeling) and that emphasize on efficient manufacturing and erection. Assessment criteria: innovative design process, level of difficulty, size of project, design originality, fitness for manufacturing and erection. |
