Dear SCIA eNews reader,
It has been exactly 2 years since we launched our first eNews.
Time after time we have tried to present very interesting issues. This edition is no different from usual.
For the fifth time, SCIA organises a User Contest. An event that already gets worldwide credit and in which your company and your most beautiful projects attract the attention. Participating is the message; the beautiful prizes are a bonus!
Before you sign up for the User Contest, don’t forget to read our Support article about the graphical output. We would also like to show you a magnificent project, namely the local swimming pool of Jonfosse (Liege) designed with our Allplan Architecture software…. and there is a lot more, just watch.

SCIA User Contest 2007: The starting shot has been fired! |
|
|
Throughout the years, the SCIA User Contest has become a renowned event, strongly appreciated by the users of our software solutions and highly praised by the international press. With this lustrum edition - this is already the 5th one - we will even go further: new categories, new software and extra prizes…
You will, without any doubt remember the previous edition, which resulted in a nice
User Contest book, where every participating project got extensive attention. If you shouldn’t have your own copy yet, you can still order it here for free.
We have reserved several categories for projects modelled and calculated with SCIA.ESA, like we did for the previous edition. The category Allplan (Nemetschek) has, due to the success of the previous edition, been divided into 2 categories “Allplan Architecture” and “Allplan Engineering” and completely new for this contest is the category ... more

Collaboration Echo and SCIA |
|
As part of the on-going collaboration between the company ‘Echo’, manufacturer of precast floor elements, and SCIA a further step in the development of pretension beams will be taken.
In version 2006.1 of SCIA.ESA PT the following features will be developed: Asymmetrical Strand Patterns, Phased Arbitrary Beams, Batch Processing of parameterised templates, Code Check EN 1168, Concrete Fire Resistance and Holes in Beams.
Especially the check of Concrete Fire Resistance can be seen as a generic module for all existing and new concrete users. This module allows the user to check the maximum fire resistance of a practically reinforced rectangular cross-section. This calculation involves a physical non-linear calculation of the cross-section. Currently such feature does not exist in our software and it will have to be newly developed, see picture.
Note that the current check of the ultimate limit state response is always linear, i.e. flat surfaces remain flat, Bernoulli hypothesis.
Finally the Batch Processing of parameterised templates will be another step forward for all users of SCIA.ESA PT. It will enhance the ... more

The German construction sector surfaces again |
|
|
The construction industry, which has been in a deadlock for a long period, experienced the best start since seven years, according to the German construction federation. Hopefully this is the sign for an economical revival of the German economy, which still is the best in Europe.
In January, the activities of the German building industry have increased by more than 9,8% on an annual basis.
It is the first increase observed in this month since 1999, according to the German Construction Federation.
This increase is really a benefit for all branches. The public activities have increased thanks to the increase of the fiscal earnings of the local authorities. On the market of private housing, the abolition of a subsidy with regard to the acquirement of ownership has lead to the advancing of the various building activities and to the extension of the building sites these last months.
After several years of declining figures, the federation anticipates a stable turnover for the sector in this year. This small revival of the sector nourishes the expectations of ... more

Project: The local swimming pool of Jonfosse (Liège)
Client: Bureau Act 1 Architects
Used software: Allplan Architecture
The company ACT 1 is an architectural firm counting 2 structural engineers, 1 environmentalist urban development architect, 7 architects, 2 interior designers, 1 designer and 2 office workers.
The main sectors in which ACT 1 is working are:
- The service sector (offices)
- The hospital sector and rest homes
- The commercial sector (Carrefour, Krefel, Mediamarkt)
- The hotel sector
- The sector of accommodations (individual, apartments)
- The sports sector (sports centre)
ACT 1 disposes of the following certificates: ISO 9001 and CoQual.
The project
The project has been realized in November 2004 within the framework of a contest organized by the City of Liège.
The studies were made in partnership with ‘Coste Architecture’ of Montpellier. It regards the construction of a municipal swimming pool and adjacent accommodations. The site retained for this equipment is interesting due to its citification (strong density of houses and schools), its difference in level and the district in which it is situated (station of Jonfosse).
Philosophy
The new swimming pool has to re-revitalize the district. In order to blend in, the ... more

Tips & Tricks:
Graphical Output for Result Class in SCIA.ESA PT |
|
|
When grouping Load Cases or Combinations in a Result Class, it is possible to view the result for each item of the Class in a graphical way.
This allows the user to view the different results of a Result Class graphically in a certain section of a member.
First of all, go to a specific result menu, for example Internal Forces on beam. The Type of loads has to be set to Class. Next, in the Properties Window, change the Text output to Graphical so the Preview will show the results graphically instead of numerically.
Using the Selection tool, a section of a specific ... more
