With Revit Structures SCIA will have a link to the Scia Engineer analysis model.

(11)Īlso with other CAD modelling systems such as Revit (Autodesk) SCIA is implementing the highest functional link Revit is providing an API (Programming Interface) that allows partly roundtrip engineering. fast modelling techniques in one platform are reflected in the other platform. refinements and changes are possible in selected parts of a construction they will be transferred to the other application. labels remain positioned in associated views after changes design data) are stored as Blob (Binary Large Objects) properties the upgrade engine keeps the CAE and CAD model compatible outside data (e.g. Some extra benefits which are being implemented: Roundtrip is much more than import / export. In contrary to a link based on IFC between models of a same domain, here a transfer between a CAE and CAD model is being realized (in both directions). Steel sections and concrete constructive elements are one-to-one compliant.

The structural objects are directly linked with corresponding parts within the Allplan platform, using the Nemetschek Object Interface. The Scia Engineer (Professional Technology) platform addresses CAE modelling, with a consistent structural and analysis model for steel and concrete building parts & structures. Roundtrip engineering is being achieved by SCIA through a joint development with Nemetschek of a common interface between two platforms, one for CAE and for CAD.Ĭomplex CAE calculations may be executed, hidden to the normal CAD user. Reverse engineering reconstructs the design model from the CAD geometrical model, again an extra benefit. Therefore, a roundtrip solution, where a designer or detailer can start or edit the model at any stage, is closest to reality and will lead to the shortest time between design and fabrication or building. Practically every design of a construction is an iterative process of refining, reviewing, changing architectural, engineering or building (fabrication) details.
