ABOUT SCIA

"SCIA Engineer is our main FEM software for several reasons:

  • Straightforward and user-friendly
  • Easy reporting of results
  • Transparent, not a “black box”

  • Enables the entire design process within a single software, from internal force analysis to sectional calculations and final engineering reporting"

     

Session: SCIA Engineer: A Key Partner in BESIX Engineering Project Design

The BESIX Engineering Department will present a range of projects designed using SCIA Engineer. This presentation will provide insight into how SCIA is applied within our department across various types of engineering challenges. Key projects have been selected to illustrate the use of specific SCIA Engineer modules, including the Triangle high-rise building in Paris, the Krammersluis marine project in the Netherlands, the ViA15 viaduct in the Netherlands, and the ROCO tunnels in Antwerp.In addition, the presentation will highlight the benefits of parametric design, as well as the interoperability between SCIA Engineer and other software tools, demonstrating how these capabilities enhance efficiency and project delivery.
