Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2009 • Category 3: CAE Civil Works 135 3 a non-linear calculation was performed to simulate the real behaviour of the gate. Description of our experience with Scia Engineer with the realisation of this project The ease of use of Scia Engineer. Scia Engineer proved its worth when creating a FEMmodel of significant complexity. Due to the instinctive and extensive possibilities when creating, manipulating and altering such a model, Scia Engineer really made a difference. The different modes of visualisation (layers, saved selections containing shells and bars, cutting box…) really made it possible to keep an oversight and select the most appropriate visualisation in function of what the engineer wanted. The new document-functionalities (in comparison with prior software) also made the compilation of the results significantly easier. The possibility of copying and altering a given resulttable was used to great effect, just as the possibility to generate data in function of a collection instead of manually creating the data for every element within the collection. These advantages greatly outweighed the somewhat more cumbersome resultquerying (time needed to visualise results). Used modules • Base • Shells • Non linear calculations Lock complex, Evergem
