SCIA Corporate News: SCIA User Contest 2005


A rich variety of structures were presented to the jury on Valentine’s day 2005; around 85 projects competed in 4 categories. The SCIA clients proved – once again – that creativity and effort give rise to excellent results. Amazing pictures are submitted to illustrate the use of SCIA’s CAE and CAD software in construction. Engineering structures such as tunnels, power plants, bridges, towers, shelters, quays have been designed with ESA-Prima Win or SCIA.ESA PT. Well known arenas, churches, convents and stations are built with the help of SCIA Software. Extremely high rise buildings and spectacular steel structures (masts, cable structures) illustrate the progress of advanced calculations ... <more>

SCIA releases a new module 'Prestress Checks' for NEN 6720

 


In March, SCIA will release a new module for NEN 6720. It will be possible to check prestressed, pretensioned beams. The performed checks will be: allowable stress (compression and tension), crack proof, response and capacity. The checks will use the engine from ESA-Concrete Section, thus allowing easy and modern review of stresses, strains and forces. Each result can be reviewed for each individual construction stage including the aging of the concrete, creep, relaxation and shrinkage! Finally the additional reinforcement areas for the main, shear and connection reinforcement can be calculated respecting the ... <more>

Calatrava sets course for Atlanta

 


The Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava presented in Atlanta the building project for the symphony orchestra of the city. Just as in the recently built ‘Opera of Tenerife’, the structure will be kept very light, totally carried out in steel and glass.

This architectural project of Santiago Calatrava will provide by 2008 the symphony orchestra of Atlanta, the largest in the southeast of America, with an astonishing building. Today, it is already regarded as the modern symbol of the State of Georgia, ready to be sent ... <more>

Tips&Tricks: Working with plates and walls?

 

For the calculation model all plates and walls have to be connected!
Therefore a button is available in the construction menu and in the calculation paragraph of the tree. If no members are selected, SCIA.ESA PT will check the whole structure for not-connected bars and 2D elements:

The connected edges will be marked with red labels.
