SCIA Engineer - Steel Building Design (Online) - 2x0.5 Days
Develop your knowledge of steel design in SCIA Engineer and increase your design productivity. This online training course will give existing users (who are already comfortable with the basics) the confidence to perform steel design in SCIA Engineer. In this 1 day course, spread over two days, you will learn how to analyse and design typical hot-rolled steel structures using the software.
After a general introduction to the steel service, the training course will be based on a simple braced steel frame. Training will cover setting up the model for steel design, running steel checks, and optimising members. Setting up and understanding nonlinear, stability and 2nd order analysis (with imperfections) also forms a large portion of this training course.
Course Objective
Efficient and autonomous use of SCIA Engineer in typical structural steel design. Correctly model steel members, understand the various analysis options, and confidently utilise the steel design tools. Completion will give attendees an excellent understanding of how to deal with crucial steel design tasks according to Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-1).
Who should attend?
Existing users of the software or past participants of our SCIA Engineer Fundamentals training course. It is an excellent course for existing users that want to use SCIA Engineer for steel building design.
