Scia Engineer Expert Edition

The Expert Edition extends the Professional Edition and addresses the most demanding users. It comes with highly advanced calculation modules for slender and suspended structures and for structures sensitive to the construction process. This Edition provides design tools for precast and bridge industries.

(The Expert Edition includes all capabilities of Scia Engineer Concept Edition and Scia Engineer Professional Edition)

Modelling

The modelling capabilities are extended by intelligent detection of conflicts between structural entities. Both the geometric entities (beams, slabs) and reinforcement bars are tested for possible collisions.

Loads

Advanced functions for input of mobile loads and train loads suit engineers who must take into account the loads due to traffic.

Analysis

The Expert Edition is capable of performing such advanced types of calculation as soil-structure interaction, analysis of membranes and cables, nonlinear stability, friction springs. Bridge designers in particular will be pleased by linear and nonlinear construction stage analysis and time dependent analysis.

Design

The Expert Edition provides a world of design power for pre-tensioned and post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete with modelling of strand patterns, input of post-tensioned tendons, time-dependant analysis determining creep, ageing, relaxation, losses and with code-checks according to the appropriate code.

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.
