Scia
Nemetschek Scia develops, distributes and supports dedicated software solutions to improve the cycle from design to construction for all types of structures. Since 1974, for over 35 years, we have specialized in advanced structural engineering design calculations that are adopted all over the world.
Nemetschek Scia is a structural BIM (building information modelling) pioneer enhancing the software portfolio of the Nemetschek Engineering Group. In addition, special attention is paid to provide the best interoperability with the main CAE and CAD software worldwide.
Nemetschek Scia’s employees are passionate about technically impressive structures. At the same time, Scia’s product leadership focuses on offering the most powerful and highest quality software to the market. Our competence and knowledge in civil and structural engineering drives us to innovate constantly.
Scia is a member of the globally operating Nemetschek AG and has over 1200 employees. Scia, together with Allplan, Graphisoft, Vectorworks, Maxon and other daughter companies such as Frilo and Glaser form one of the world’s leading IT companies in AEC covering the design, construction and management of buildings, infrastructure and real estate.
Scia Engineer is a powerful, comprehensive and robust software platform that helps structural engineers with modelling, analysis, design and drawing of steel, concrete, aluminium, timber, and multi-material structures.
Scia Engineer performs static, dynamic and stability analysis of structures including construction stages and time dependent analysis. The program makes it possible to work with columns, beams, curved 1D members as well as with walls, plates, curved shells, etc.
Scia Engineer is a new technology, one of the first structural BIM implementations. It works for modelling of 3D structures in combination with a third party CAD software. Its extremely powerful “Structure-2-Analysis” converting algorithm transforms architectural/structural CAD models into engineering analysis models for FEM (Finite Element) calculations. This dual modelling approach together with other interoperability options is a strong component of BIM (Building Information Modelling). The open interface of the program allows for creation of tailor-made applications aiming at specific segments of the construction industry market: pipeline modelling, scaffolding, pre-engineered buildings, and others.
Scia Steel
Scia Steel is modular software offering speed, quality as well as an important control of the manufacturing and execution process to the steel constructor. The core of the system is made of the parts list (Bill of Materials) and of the geometrical data on this parts list. The parameter setting of Scia Steel guarantees that this data-processing solution is appropriate for each organisation. Moreover, the modular approach allows an optimal adaptation to any modification with regard to the structure of the company. Many steel constructors already changed to CAD and the use of CNC machines. Scia Steel is the logical link between CAD and CNC for all work preparation with respect to treatment and transfer of seized data to related systems.
