Η πολυαναμενόμενη έκδοση 16 του SCIA Engineer μόλις έφτασε!

Πλέον μπορείτε να λάβετε την αναβάθμιση του πιο εξελιγμένου πρόγραμματος πεπερασμένων στοιχείων SCIA Engineer 16 (με την ίδια πραγματική 3D ανάλυση), αλλά με ελέγχους που δεν μπορεί κανένα άλλο στατικό πρόγραμμα να σας προσφέρει!  Οι πελάτες σας μπορούν να νιώθουν ασφαλείς ακόμη και με τις μικρότερες διατομές (σκυροδέματος, χάλυβα) και με τον ελάχιστο οπλισμό (shift rule - EC2 9.2.1.3 (2)).

Αυτό είναι εφικτό με το SCIA Engineer 16, αφού χρησιμοποιεί μόνο πεπερασμένα στοιχεία (FEM) στην ανάλυση του, και λαμβάνει τις πραγματικές δυσκαμψίες των υλικών (χωρίς να κάνει παραδοχές), δίνοντας ως αποτέλεσμα τις πραγματικές τάσεις της κατασκευής. 

Οι απλοποιήσεις (παραδοχές) οδηγούν σε πολύ μεγαλύτερες τάσεις και σε μεγαλύτερες διατομές, που αυτό δεν συνιστά πάντοτε, μεγαλύτερη ασφάλεια αλλά συνήθως μεγαλύτερο κόστος.
Το SCIA Engineer 16 φέρνει μια μεγάλη σειρά από βελτιώσεις, επεκτάσεις και τροποποιήσεις που εκτείνονται σε όλη την ροή εργασιών ενός τυπικού πολιτικού μηχανικού. Κάποια από αυτά αναπτύχθηκαν για τους τους χρήστες που ειδικεύονται σε συγκεκριμένους τύπους κατασκευών, ενώ άλλα απλοποιούν την καθημερινή εργασία των πολιτικών μηχανικών.

Οι βελτιώσεις εμφανίζονται σε όλες τις φάσεις της ροής εργασιών του έργου: αρχική μοντελοποίηση, ακριβέστερη ανάλυση, οι κώδικες συμμορφώνονται με το σχεδιασμό και την παρουσίαση των αποτελεσμάτων, και όλα μοιράζονται τον ίδιο πρωταρχικό στόχο: ΙΚΑΝΟΠΟΙΗΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΧΡΗΣΤΗ - USER SATISFACTION

Key improvements include:

  • Much faster, transparent and more comprehensive design of concrete beams, columns and ribs
  • A new “Section check” tool for detailed analysis of a concrete section
  • Expanded composite beam design for both AISC and EN1994
  • Seismic concrete frame and shear wall design to US codes
  • Various improvements for meshing & advanced analysis

    EC3 connections: four bolts per row, weak axis bending and more

The steel connections design according to Eurocodes has been extended by the results of the latest research, and now allows the engineers to design connections with four bolts per row, and check connections for weak-axis or even bi-axial bending moments, in full compliance with the philosophy of the component method.

  • New summary output is now available in addition to the existing brief and detailed option
  • New output for splice connections includes more details
  • Moment-stiff end-plate connection with four bolts per row are now theoretically better understood and can be modelled and checked in SCIA Engineer in full agreement with EN 1993-1-8
  • Strong-axis moment connections can be subject to strong- and weak-axis bending simultaneously

                    Detailed reinforced concrete Section Check

The Section Check is an integrated tool for very simple and easy-to-use design and code-checking of a specific section on a 1D member. The user first selects graphically any section in the 3D model. All data like internal forces, geometry, reinforcement (if present) are automatically transferred to an intuitive dialogue. There, at a glance, the user checks the behaviour and resistance of the section, and he may dig deeper into the calculation report and make changes to the reinforcement, if required – all on the same screen, just 1 click away.

Finally, results can be sent to the Engineering Report for final documentation.

                 Comprehensive Eurocode design of 1D members

SCIA Engineer 16 offers a full solution for design and code-checking of reinforced concrete beams, columns and ribs according to Eurocode EN1992-1 including the National Annexes. The main benefits are:

  • Support of any cross-section shape, even for column design
  • All internal forces taken into account: normal force, bending moments, shear forces and torsion
  • Clear and transparent reporting including applied formulas and references to code clauses
  • NEW: safe design thanks to the shift rule for bending moments (EC2-9.2.1.3 (2))
  • NEW: economical design thanks to the reduction of shear forces and moments above supports
  • NEW: parallel processing giving over 300% speed improvement when using 4 cores
Other improvements include calculation of the limit height of the concrete compression zone according to Dutch national annex, enhanced visualisation for results, calculation of deflections based on the minimum beam stiffness applicable to all situations, and much more.

          AutoDesign for custom catalogue-based optimisation

The Coupled Set AutoDesign is a new optimisation routine that works best for, e.g., a user-defined set of steel profiles with several different dimensions (height, width, thickness, etc.) varying in a range of discreet values and with some dimensions depending on others (i.e., sections of larger height are only produced with a limited range of thickness). This optimisation is also suitable if the values of optimised dimensions are read from a product range catalogue: the values do not vary continuously, but only specific produced dimensions are available.

               Realistic composite design according to EN1994

After its introduction in SCIA Engineer 15, the composite beam design tools have seen their user interface streamlined and extended with additional capabilities. Starting with the selection of a suitable steel decking and shear connectors from the integrated catalogues of common manufacturers, continuing with exact modelling and precise determination of stiffness, the engineers can design and check cantilevers and simple as well as continuous beams. Clear layout and customizable level of detail in the report then underline the overall usability of the solution.

To name a few, the following features have been added in the latest version of SCIA Engineer:

  • Lateral-torsional buckling checks and comprehensive fire safety verification for both the construction and final stage
  • Catalogue of European, British and North American manufacturers with optional manual input of user-defined sheeting
  • The stiffness of the composite slab as well as the (partial) shear connection is taken into account
  • New one-way decks eliminate parasitic bending moments at the ends of simple beams and transfer all loads first to secondary beams, which in turn transfer it to the primary beams as concentrated forces
  • Simplified approach for limitation of crack widths

                     Γενική πλαστικότητα - General plasticity

Με το SCIA Engineer 15 ήρθε και μια ολοκαίνουργια εξέλιξη σχετική με μη-γραμμικούς υπολογισμούς. Αυτή η μη-γραμμικότητα έγκειται στη συμπεριφορά του υλικού.

Το SCIA Engineer 15 εισήγαγε ένα νέο είδος υλικού συμπεριφοράς για τα μέλη 2D: την πλαστικότητα.

Η πλαστική ζώνη βασίζεται στην κατάσταση διαρροής (yield) Von Mises (J2 κατάσταση πλαστικότητας).

Στην νέα έκδοση v16 εισάχθηκαν ακόμη τρεις (3) νέες συνθήκες ανάλυσης (yield conditions) της πλαστικότητας:
  • Tresca
  • Mohr-Coulomb
  • Drucker-Prager!

Ο υπολογισμός αυτός μπορεί να είναι χρήσιμος για τους χρήστες που ασχολούνται με τις συσκευές πιέσεως από χάλυβα, καθώς και άλλες αναλύσεις που απαιτούν να ληφθεί υπόψη η πλαστική (μη γραμμική) συμπεριφορά του υλικού.

              Graphical representation of strains and stresses

The advanced graphical visualization of 3D stresses and strains was extended:

  • 2D strain values can now be visualized: basic total strain, principal total strain, basic plastic strain, and principal plastic strain
  • Correct handling of 3D stresses display when the load is applied in the centroid instead of shear centre

More:
                    Table Results – more interactive than before

A series of new options have been added to the analysis part of the software:

  • New graphical mark to highlight in the 3D model the position of a specific value from Table Results
  • Faster opening of Table Results and refreshing of the values after change
  • A double-click on a particular value in Table Results opens a detailed code-check, if applicable
  • Option to remove table results from saved projects to reduce file size
  • Validity status and one-click-regeneration ensure that the values are constantly up-to-date

              Engineering Report smoothly handles large reports

The Engineering Report, the primary tool for the preparation of comprehensive and clear documents about the performed analysis and design, presents a few new features and, primarily, optimised memory handling. Thanks to this improvement, the engineers are now able to, for example:

  • Import A0 drawing in 600 DPI quality
  • Include hundreds of high resolution pictures in the same report
  • Import ECtools calculation reports
  • Import external PDF files

Additionally, it is now possible to send the content of the Engineering Report to MS Excel without formatting.

                                            BIM updates

The links to 3rd party software were updated to support their latest versions:

  • A new, IFC-based, interface replaces the old link with Allplan. This IFC interface has been optimised for the exchange of data with Allplan and thus no additional manual settings are required.
  • SCIA Engineer 16 is compatible with Tekla Structures 2016.
