The Concept Edition attracts engineers modelling and analysing common structures made of steel or concrete or another material. For daily work the Concept Edition of Scia Engineer is the best choice.
It is design software whose quality will support engineers in convincing construction owners and authorities.

Modeller
Modeller The modeller offers capabilities for input and effective editing of straight or curved beam members and plates, walls and shells. The geometry is stored using the unique “True Analysis” technology that stores both structural model (suitable for drawings) and analytical model (required for calculations and code-checks). Communication with third-party software is made through common file formats such as IFC, DWG, DXF, VRML. Easy-to-make printouts with tables, pictures and “Active document” feature that automatically re-generates the documentation after any modification, clearly describe the defined model and present the obtained results.
Loads
Not only geometry, but also other data of the analytical model are input effectively. Boundary conditions, loads and other types of data that are necessary for the calculation are defined using intuitive functions. Automatic generators are available for more complex loading conditions, such as plane-load distributed to load-bearing beams or wind and snow load.
Analysis
The Concept Edition performs static linear calculations. In addition, some advanced types of analysis, mainly for steel structures, are also offered: ties, foundation blocks, and geometrically non-linear analysis.
Design
The Concept Edition is a good partner for design and checking of the structure according to latest codes. “Snap Check” works for all materials. For steel structures, it offers functions for the effective design, checking and even optimisation of rolled and welded cross-sections. For concrete, the functionality covers the design of required reinforcement, input of practical reinforcement, automatic design of rebars for beams and slabs, schemes of reinforcement, interaction diagrams, check of deflections and cracks, punching shear.
Additional Modules
A set of additional modules complements the capabilities of the Editions. Available are modules for the design and code-checking of aluminium structures, composite structures, hollow-core panels, pipeline systems, steel masts, etc. Please contact your local sales representative for more information.
