The 64-bit version of SCIA Engineer doesn't support pond loads (yet).
Therefore this tool can help you to create the pond loads in the 32-bit version of SCIA Engineer and convert them to standard loads which can be imported and used in the 64-bit version of SCIA Engineer.
Instructions
Create your project in the 32-bit version of SCIA Engineer or import the geometry from the 64-bit version (File > Export to > 32-bit version (XML)).
Create a Load group and a Load case for the Pond loads.
Create the generate the pond loads via Load > Pond load - water accumulation in the menu tree:
Open Tools > XML IO Document from the menu tree.
Load the document template pondloads_wateraccumulation.TDX from the zip-file at the bottom of this page.
Export the XML-file:
Open the excelfile from the zip-file at the bottom of this page and use the [Convert XML-file...] button to create a new XML-file from the exported XML-file.
It will be named [Name]_converted.xml
Open the SCIA Engineer project in the 64-bit version and go to Main menu > File > Update from > XML file:
Now the pond loads should be properly imported and you can continue with your project:
