Nemetschek SCIA Engineer 2015 v15.3.120

Multi-material structural analysis and design software for all kinds of projects, from buildings to bridges. Discover all the features that will make your life easier. Faster, easier and more complete concrete design, composite beam design, plastic steel shells analysis and much more!
Scia Engineer is an integrated, multi-material structural analysis and design software for all kinds of projects. Its wide range of functionality make it usable for all kinds of projects: design office buildings, industrial plants and bridges, all within the same easy-to-use environment.

In addition to a state-of-the art modelling, mesh generator and high-performance finite element solver, it features integrated tools to check or optimize the structure to a variety of international and national building codes.

Buildings
SCIA Engineer allows structural Engineers to design and analyse all kinds of buildings, office blocks, skyscrapers, apartments in materials such as steel, concrete or composite.

Civil Structures
Civil engineers daily rely on SCIA Engineer to model, analyse and design all kind of infrastructure projects such as bridges, tunnels, locks, barrages, bulkheads, overpasses, etc...

Industrial Buildings & Plants
SCIA Engineer comes with all the 3D industrial design tools needed in the process and power industry. Plant design professionals also get all the tools to design any hanger, large span halls in steel or concrete

Special Projects
Many special projects have been designed, calculated and finally realized with SCIA Engineer. Such projects include mechanical equipment, stadiums, cranes, scaffolds, roofs, sustainable projects and more.
