Structural Solutions

Scia Engineer is a new software platform for structural engineers. It analyses, designs and details any type of structure. From the simplest to the most complex construction in concrete, steel, aluminum, plastic, timber or mixed, with integration of the local and international codes and with a link between the analysis and drawing components.

Tekla Structures is Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that enables the creation and management of accurately detailed, highly constructible 3D structural models regardless of material or structural complexity. Tekla models can be used to cover the entire building process from conceptual design to fabrication and construction management.

GRAPHISOFT-TEKLA presentation
This presentation introduces how architects - using ArchiCAD,  and structural engineers - using Tekla Structures, can exchange design information as well as manage changes by implementing the "Open-BIM approach" in their practice. This presentation also demonstrates the architectural-structural workflow - step-by-step - through practical, real-life examples. Some case studies where architects and engineers have already implemented this open collaboration workflow in their practice are also displayed.

For nearly 30 years, ETABS has been recognized as the industry standard for Building Analysis and Design Software. Today, continuing in the same tradition, ETABS has evolved into a completely Integrated Building Analysis and Design Environment. The System built around a physical object based graphical user interface, powered by targeted new special purpose algorithms for analysis and design, with interfaces for drafting and manufacturing, is redefining standards of integration, productivity and technical innovation.

Revit Structure software integrates a multimaterial physical and an independently editable analytical model for efficient structural analysis, design, and documentation. It improves the way structural engineers and drafters work. It minimizes repetitive modeling and drawing tasks, as well as errors due to manual coordination between structural engineers, architects, and drafters.

FEM-Design is advanced modeling and design software that offers complete analysis solution for whole structure using finite element method. It gives solutions for static/dynamic analysis and steel/RC design in 3D or 2D. FEM-Design has its own drawing and editing tools. It also has bridge to 3D architectural models using IFC. Designers can model and analyze the structures in 12 national codes in 3D. Multi-page documentation can be generated automatically using predefined templates.

CYPECAD is a program created by CYPE for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures containing joist, waffle, flat, composite and hollow core slabs. The foundations which can be introduced include pad footings and pile caps or a buoyant foundation (mat foundation and beams). Complete structural drawings are provided. The program is adapted to numerous international codes. Using the Automatic Job Introduction option of the CYPECAD, DXF, DWG or IFC files generated by CAD/BIM programs can be imported.
