New Features for SCIA Professional

AI assistance along the way
AI Structural Analyst automatically interprets raw results, flagging critical places and helping engineers reach decisions faster. AI Coach guides unexperienced users, saving them time and reducing their dependence on external support.
Load takedown
It allows engineers to quickly determine load paths, understand the structure and provide accurate data for foundations design and geotechnics. It saves time especially at early stages of the project and helps eliminate modelling errors.
Concrete 2nd Generation Eurocodes 1D - EN 1992-1-1
It allows engineers to quickly determine load paths, understand the structure and provide accurate data for foundations design and geotechnics. It saves time especially at early stages of the project and helps eliminate modelling errors.
Benefits

Why Choose SCIA Professional

One Integrated Structural Model
Design, analyze, and verify structures within a single unified model. SCIA Professional combines modeling, structural analysis, and code-based design so engineers can work efficiently without switching between multiple tools.
Efficient Structural Workflows
Automate common engineering tasks with intelligent load generators, parametric modeling tools, and built-in analysis workflows. Engineers can focus on solving structural problems instead of managing complex software setups.
Confidence in Structural Results
Access detailed structural results, transparent calculations, and reliable verification tools. Engineers maintain full visibility into how structures behave under loads and design conditions.
BIM-Ready Engineering
Collaborate with architects and engineering teams using BIM-based workflows. SCIA Professional supports IFC, SAF, and direct integrations with ALLPLAN and platforms like Revit and Tekla for smooth model exchange.
Features

Structural Engineering Capabilities

Frame Modeling

Model structural frames quickly using CAD-like tools with support for beams, columns, and structural systems in 2D and 3D environments.

Surface and Shell Modeling

Model plates, walls, and shell elements to represent complex structural behavior accurately.

Parametric Modeling

Use parametric tools to efficiently create structural geometry and modify models while maintaining design intent.

Cross-Section Editor

Create and modify custom cross-sections to represent real structural members accurately.
