 SCIA Corporate News: Engineering Solutions and SCIA  
 
The core competence of SCIA lies in engineering software for construction.

Thirty years ago the SCIA software offer was limited to strength calculations (based on the finite element method) with a few design rules. In 2005 the SCIA engineering software covers a much broader domain. Based on the SCIA PT (Professional Technology) platform, SCIA is offering several solutions: a powerful structural design suite and several vertical applications.

The main product in the design suite is named SCIA.ESA PT (Engineering Structural Applications), the follow-up software of ... more

 The construction of residences continues its progression in France  
 
From March to May 2005, the number of building authorizations increased by 14,1% compared to the same period one year earlier and started up sites increased by 9,4%, according to the ministry of housing.

Good news for the profession! During the months April, March and May 2005, 119.936 authorizations for the construction of residences were delivered and 95.686 sites were started up. Thus, when we consider twelve months up to the end of May 2005, the number of delivered building authorizations of residences amounts to 480.666, that is a progression of 17,5%. As for the started up sites, over the same period, they record a progression of 13,7%, with 380.104 units.

In detail, the building authorizations for residences ... more

 
   
    Jaroslav Prazan – Plastic Construction (CZ), Thermoplastic Scrubber  
 


Project description
An aboveground welded thermoplastic scrubber had to be built in a draining piping system for gas waste products from a technological Process. The vessel is equipped by a nozzle system for spraying liquid in the washing process of waste gas.

Technical data
Diameter: 1800 mm
Height: 4350 mm
Weight: 750 kg

Program
ESA-Prima Win version 3.60

Modules
Linear static analysis of shells
Intersections
Stability of shells
Intelligent document

Analysis description
Plastics structures exhibit a visco-elastic behaviour; this depends from the time of load exposition, the temperature and stress level reached in the material. The analysis of the thermoplastic starts with long term strength and creep modulus determination. The number of necessary ... more

 
   
   Tips & Tricks: Store User Settings in SCIA.ESA PT  
 
In SCIA.ESA PT, it is possible to save the settings of a specific window for each user. This way, the settings are stored for all new projects, so it is not necessary to change them for each new project.

First of all, open a specific window like the Units window. Next, make some changes to the settings (i.e. change a unit) and save these changes using the option Store user-default settings
The settings are now stored for each new project.
Using the option ... more
