Module scia.basic is the basic SCIA Engineer module that allows for free modelling in 2D or 3D environment of 1D members (beams, columns, etc.) including all necessary boundary conditions, such as supports, hinges, eccentricities or variable cross-sections along the beam and application of load impulses.
This module enables you to input flat or curved surfaces in the environment of SCIA Engineer. Planar or curved surfaces may have defined straight or curved edges, constant or variable thickness, specific boundary conditions such as ribs, openings, subregions or cut-outs defined by intersecting surfaces.
In the General Cross-section Editor, you can input any arbitrary cross-section shape in a graphical way, including sections composed of multiple entities and multiple materials. Cross-sectional characteristics are calculated and used in the 3D analysis and design environment of SCIA Engineer.
The Parametric modelling module eliminates the need to actively adapt the model after changes to the initial design and enables general optimisation. Parameters allow you to optimise a structure and obtain the most economical design, minimise the load effect, or optimise any other property of the 3D model.
