Speed Analysis and design of all types of structures are done thanks to the fastest finite element computing engine.
Proven speed thanks to: • Working graphically with intelligent structural objects (beams, columns, walls, floors, shells …) • Intuitive and easy to learn user interface • An open library of parametric models for a fast generation of new structures • Load generators (snow, wind, soil, water accumulation …) • “Active Document” with bi-directional link between the project model and the calculation report • “ChapterMaker” technology enables fast and customized creation of sub-chapters for any collection of items like members, profiles, load cases, combinations, etc. • Extended picture gallery: overview drawings, structural details • “Autodesign” and detailing following building codes for steel, concrete, composite wood, aluminium ... • Automatic general arrangement and connection drawings thanks to the unique “True Analysis” approach: structural and analysis model are generated in one go • Automatic finite element meshing • “Template Analysis”: quick reuse of user-generated parametric models for the creation of new designs • Support of 64 bit processors: allowing higher computing speed and the use of the entire available memory

“Structure-2-Analysis” The powerful “Structure-2-Analysis” algorithm transforms a typical CAD-model (with improper alignment or connections of building parts) into a model used for analysis. Location of this functionality in the structural analysis software ensures that the engineer remains the master of his model and underlying assumptions.
“Autodesign” Scia Engineer allows for an optimum design of steel and concrete structures. Advanced automatic optimization is performed according to design code provisions and additional rules by the user, defining if needed the relationship between different parameters. Optimized structural items include: hot-rolled and built-up steel profiles, types of steel connections, concrete reinforcement, etc...
