Nemetschek Scia User Contest
Last March, an international jury, composed of specialists from the academic and business world, gathered to judge the projects of the sixth edition of the Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2009. All projects were evaluated on originality, level of complexity, technical expertise and correct application of the used software. More international than ever; this contest was open to all users of software from the Nemetschek engineering companies i.e. Scia Engineer, Allplan Engineering, Allplan Precast, Frilo statics and Glaser -isb cad-.
Many of the participating projects illustrate how building information modelling (BIM) and other data exchange possibilities between engineering design and CAD modelling are working in practice. All 122 participating projects are bundled in a colourful book of nearly 300 pages, explaining in detail the technical challenges and how the users solved these with the help of Nemetschek Engineering Group software. This book offers all participating companies a unique opportunity to show their know-how and professionalism to the outside world. As many as 13,000 copies are printed for free distribution. You can order your free copy of the User Contest Book, browse the online flippable ebook or download it in PDF.
