Dear eNews reader,
The holidays have passed and we hope you enjoyed them… We surely did and once again we have a lot of interesting news for you.
In this September edition we will go into the white papers of Scia;, we will take a look at the design of aluminum structures and present a new functionality within Scia Engineer. A lot of reading pleasure!

Corporate News: White papers from Scia, to read or not to read? |
|
|
|
| |
|
Regularly Scia engineers are publishing white papers on the website to explain technical issues on the software.
Engineers are interested to understand the background of the software they are daily using. By explaining the research & development behind products in a non-commercial format, Scia engineers are reaching a broad public beyond the user base of its products.
Innovation needs explanation to be of value to the community. At the same time the effort of explaining algorithms, architecture or theories helps the writer himself to have more discipline in presenting new technologies.
In recent years the following subjects were treated:
- Interoperability for BIM: a structural engineering viewpoint, May 2008
- Template analysis in practice, December 2007
- Optimal Design of Structures – AutoDesign and Parametric Structural Optimisation Breakthrough, October 2007
- Parametric Modelling, a basic BIM property implemented in Scia Engineer 3D Modeller, September 2007
- Round-Trip Engineering step-by-step, July 2007 ... more

Product News: Design of aluminium structures - EN1999 (Module esaad.01.01) |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
The design of Aluminium structures according to EN1999 is providing aluminium designers with a powerful integrated tool to check and (Auto)Design 2D and 3D structures as per EN1999.
The Aluminium code check is implemented similarly to the steel code routines ( EC3, DIN18800,AISC ASD, AISC LRFD…).
With this new module, it is possible to design any graphical cross-section or import it directly from dxf, dwg or IFC. It can be a typical cross-section as delivered by the well-known Scia Engineer library.
The user defines the section, (bow) imperfections, transverse welds, HAZ data and can use the existing tools as provided by the steel design modules. The design of aluminium is easy to learn and to understand for all existing and new users, as the approach is similar to ... more |

Market news: Dynamic Tower in Dubai |
|

|
| |
|
|

Now you can reserve your apartment, putting your name on the reservation list for the first "Rotating Skyscraper" in Dubai.
The Dynamic Tower is the first “Building in Motion” to be constructed in the world. It will herald a new era of architecture and become a symbol of Dubai, the city of the future.
Created by revolutionary architect Dr. David Fisher, the mixed use Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds. This results in a unique and ever evolving structure that introduces a fourth dimension to architecture.
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will have 80 floors and will be 420 meters (1,380 feet) tall. Apartments will range in size from ... more |

Customer Project: Landmark Residential Building in Bournemouth by Reuby & Stagg |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Last May, the Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2009 was launched. One way of putting participating projects in the highlights is the publication of the User contest book, but also the appearance in the Nemetschek Scia eNews letter is highly appreciated by our customers.
Pictured here is Graham Bedford of Reuby & Stagg (UK), who submitted two projects in the previous contest. His company has an extensive experience in a wide range of structures covering residential, institutional, commercial, industrial, medical and retail building. Notwithstanding the fact that his projects did not win they have gone on to feature in the promotion of Scia Engineer (SMART Modeller in the UK).
The building in question has thirteen stories above ground plus a basement level. Piled foundations were provided using continuous flight auger with a contiguous piled retaining wall to the perimeter of the basement where boundary constraints prevented the use of a ... more

2D-elements module "Pressure Only (esas.44)", a new functionality in Scia Engineer |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Scia Engineer 2008 provides a new functionality for 2D-elements: "Pressure Only".
This can be applied for both reinforced concrete walls and also more specifically on masonry.
The principle is as follows:
In the FEM model properties, there is a new option; "Press only". (image 1)
Notice that this has to be combined with a non-linear calculation.
So, during the iteration, the occurring tensile forces will be eliminated. More specifically, the stiffnesses will be adapted in the direction of the principal stresses for each individual element.
Summarising, orthotropic parameters ... more |
