6 The Nemetschek Engineering Group - Engineering Freedom The Nemetschek Engineering Group - Engineering Freedom With more than 20,000 customers, the Nemetschek Engineering Group is the largest vendor of structural engineering software in Europe. The group’s software solutions cover all structural design and detailing requirements. The group is active in Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia and offers solutions for all areas of structural engineering – from CAD and structural analysis to logistics and project management. Engineering practice and engineering practices vary both in size and approach from country to country: from small independent consultants up to large multidisciplinary companies. Nemetschek solutions are thus specific developed “by engineers for engineers”. They cover a broad spectrum from small buildings and housing to high-rise buildings, industrial installations, low-energy and ecological green structures, infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels, and many more. The group’s product portfolio addresses the design and detailing of building components, such as beams, columns, slabs and roofs as well as the modelling of entirely 3D structures (steel, concrete, precast, timber, aluminium). It also covers integrated solutions for precast concrete and steel frame fabrication logistics.

This has resulted in innovations such as “Round-Trip Engineering”, here project data move seamlessly from one software product to another and back. Together the group focuses on precisely those issues that are causing a stir in the structural engineering sector: interoperability and open interfaces to products outside the group, the use of standard exchange formats, the synchronization of data between CAD and structural analysis software and Building Information Modelling for engineering applications. Besides, innovative software solutions are needed to cope with a variety of challenges: building codes are in a state of rapid transition (e.g. introduction of Eurocodes in Europe). There is a worldwide shortage of technically trained engineers required to automate engineering design and detailing tasks. And finally there is a shift in the construction industry from 2D to 3D intelligent modelling. The Product Brands of the Nemetschek Engineering Group The common goal of the engineering group is international expansion with products that are perfectly adapted to the requirements of the particular market. With more than 250 people the group is bundling forces to create solutions for the future. The Nemetschek Engineering Group has one mission: “enabling engineering freedom”
