CONCRETE DESIGN

FAST AND PRACTICAL DESIGN OF SHEAR REINFORCEMENT
- Built-in templates for stirrup shapes for different cross-section types
- Automatically considered effect of stirrups on longitudinal bars
- Practical distribution of stirrups along the span using stirrup-zones
- Optional symmetrical distribution along the span
PRACTICAL DESIGN OF REINFORCEMENT IN COLUMNS, BEAMS AND RIBS
- New reinforcement template for columns with corners-only bars
- Uniform distribution of longitudinal reinforcement along the length of the column
- Uniform distribution of reinforcement in beams and ribs above supports
- User-defined minimum length of the bars in beams and ribs
AUTOMATIC DESIGN OF REAL REINFORCEMENT IN 1D MEMBERS
- Automatic conversion of calculated reinforcement areas into real bars
- Use of real reinforcement bars in all ULS/SLS checks and in the section check
- Optional manual modification of the automatically generated reinforcement
- Export of the converted reinforcement to
IFC & XML REAL REINFORCEMENT IN 2D MEMBERS
- Design of real bars and reinforcement meshes in 2D members
- All types of reinforcement considered in checks as well as in the calculation of punching, cracks and long-term deflections
- Export all types of reinforcement to ASF file

STEEL DESIGN

SERVICEABILITY CHECKS
- EN 1993 and SIA 263 supported
- SLS check for permanent and variable loads in one go
- Support for camber in design
- Simplified input of design criteria STEEL DESIGN
- Calculation of plastic hinges updated for EN 1993-1-1
- Determination of plastic hinge moment resistance taking into account the national-annex specified safety factors
- Open checks now support paired cross-sections (double angles,
- back-to-back channels, etc.)
- Plastic hinges available with 64-bit version
- SIA 263 available in 64-bit version

COMPOSITE DESIGN

COMPOSITE FLOORS
- Economical stud design taking into account building practice requirements
- More robust AutoDesign thanks to improved handling of detailing conditions
- Faster and more economical AutoDesign for beams with multiple web openings
- Shorter, succinct standard output
- Consistent references to applied code formulas in the detailed output

ANALYSIS & RESULTS

MASONRY
- Streamlined workflow for linear analysis with masonry members
- Simple editing of orthotropy parameters for reduction of arching effect
- Advanced non-linear capabilities with compression only hinges on edges of a masonry wall
- Contact elements for edges suitable also for other applications like cross-laminated timber, calculation of cracked/delaminated members,etc. INTEGRATION MEMBER
- Integrates internal forces from defined perimeter, which is necessary for design of e.g. shear walls, etc.
- Easy and straightforward definition of the “substitute” integration member
- Integrates internal forces from 2D and 1D members
- Applicable for linear as well as non-linear analysis
- No impact on others results on the rest of the structure
MODE FILTERING
- Speeds up the response spectrum analysis while meeting the condition of 90% of moving masses
- Reduces the number of required eigenmodes
- Up to 10 times lower number of modes required
- Significantly shortens the calculation time
MODEL MODIFIERS
- Absences and stiffness modifier unified in one modification group
- Attached to a specific load case(s)
- Included in the standard project type (no special project required)
- Suitable for e.g. simulation of construction phases, long-term response of structures due to varying E modulus, etc.
RESULT IMPROVEMENTS
1D members:
- Easy detection of critical points on multi-span beams 2D members:
- Layers applicable to sections on 2D members
- New selection options for sections
- Resultant on sections

INTEROPERABILITY & BIM

ESA_XML
- Support for creation of Engineering Report
- Export of Engineering report into RTF, PDF, etc.
- Update of a project using Excel file prepared in SAF format
OPENAPI
- Easily connects SCIA Engineer to your solution
- Supports many programming languages: C#, Python, VBA, …
- Provides functions to open SCIA Engineer project, define materials and cross-sections, create beams and slabs, define loads and other model data, run linear analysis and read the results
- Supports non-linear and stability analysis via a template project

GENERAL USABILITY

- Improved handling of buckling lengths after model modification
- Clearer dialogue for load case combinations
- Automatic connection of all model elements before calculation
- Fast and clear detection of instabilities in the model
- Better control over formatting of tables in Engineering Report
- Speed improvements in standard actions like open / save project, copy / move entities, work with results and checks on 2D members for extensive envelope combinations, open long Engineering Report, etc
