All our planned webinars

This webinar aims at giving an overview of scaffolding design possibilities according to the EN 12811-1 design rules. Also numerical methods for accurate analysis are indicated. The features will be shown and explained at the hand of a small worked example.

Aluminium has revolutionized the construction industry, emerging as a material of choice for architects, engineers, and builders alike. Its unique combination of lightweight strength, durability, and design flexibility makes it an ideal material for creating innovative and efficient structures. As sustainability becomes increasingly important in modern construction, aluminium's energy efficiency and 100% recyclability further enhance its appeal.

In our webinar, you will learn about the possibilities for aluminium design in SCIA Engineer according to the EN 1999 design rules.

Wind load calculation is a critical component in structural design, ensuring the safety, stability, and longevity of buildings and other structures. Accurate assessment of wind forces allows engineers to optimize material usage, enhance cost-efficiency, and prevent catastrophic failures caused by underestimating wind impacts. This webinar will give an overview of the possibilities of the Eurocode-based wind load generator of SCIA Engineer. It will mention the novelties about canopies and friction force.

An integrated workflow between architecture and structural analysis streamlines processes, enhances productivity, and boosts efficiency for all involved parties. But how can workflows be further optimized, and how can collaboration across various disciplines and specialties be improved? The answer lies in adopting “OPEN BIM.” Leveraging leading tools like ALLPLAN, SCIA Engineer, SDS/2, and FRILO, a first-class OPEN BIM workflow demonstrates how seamless data transfers can be achieved efficiently and effortlessly. Structural engineers have the autonomy to select specific model elements for calculations without needing to recreate the analytical model.

In this webinar, we will provide a technical dive into this area with a focus on:

Automated determination of the rib effective width

Integration of internal forces into the rib cross-section

Neglecting normal force in ribs by its recalculation to an additional bending moment

Reinforcement auto-design in ribs using various design templates

This webinar is designed for structural design professionals interested in learning how to model and analyse steel structures using two powerful tools: SDS2 and SCIA Engineer. We will show how to create a detailed model of a steel walkway in SDS2, highlighting best practices. We will explain how to export the model from SDS2 to SCIA Engineer, allowing advanced structural analysis of the walkway and ensuring that the design meets the required safety and performance standards.
