Trusted by global AEC leaders

Benefits

Why Choose SCIA Concept

Efficient Modeling

Build structural analysis models quickly using intuitive frame and surface modeling tools. Engineers can focus on structural behavior rather than complex software setup.

Reliable Structural Analysis

Evaluate structural performance using trusted analysis methods including linear analysis, stability checks, and dynamic eigenmode analysis.

Practical Structural Design

Design reinforced concrete, steel, and timber structural elements using built-in design workflows that help engineers deliver safe and economical solutions.

BIM-Ready Collaboration

Exchange structural models with BIM tools using IFC and integrate workflows with ALLPLAN and platforms such as Revit and Tekla.

Features

Structural Engineering Capabilities

Frame Modeling

Create structural frames using intuitive modeling tools that support beams, columns, and structural systems in both 2D and 3D environments.

Surface and Shell Modeling

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

BIM Model Conversion

Convert structural models from BIM platforms into analysis-ready models using integrated BIM tools.

Cross-Section Editor

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