Many engineers face significant challenges when designing buildings with large open spaces, lightweight floors, or areas housing sensitive equipment. Vibrations caused by everyday human activities can lead to occupant discomfort, dissatisfied clients, or even operational problems for sensitive equipment. Footfall analysis allows engineers to evaluate how the structure responds to these human-induced vibrations.
SCIA Engineer 2026 introduces a new type of finite beam element that can account for an additional degree of freedom (warping). It allows for accurate modelling of slender or thin-walled beams, open-section beams, and structures subjected to significant torsion or complex loading.
