10 Categories of the Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 For the 2011 User Contest, the projects are divided into 5 categories. All projects are classified under one of the categories below. Category 1: Buildings Design of buildings, residences, apartments, office blocks, shopping centres, high-rise buildings… for which Nemetschek Engineering Group software has been used for modelling, analysis, design and detailing. » The originality of the design and detailing of the structural work fitting with the architectural design is a decisive factor. Category 2: Civil Structures Any type of structure that fits within civil engineering, including any type of bridge (beam, arch, cable-stayed, suspension…), tunnels, bulkheads, locks, barrages, in short general infrastructure... for which Nemetschek Engineering Group software has been used. » The level of application of engineering science is decisive. Category 3: Design of Industrial Buildings and Plants Design of general steel or concrete structures, power plants, frame structures, large span halls, hangars, pre-engineered buildings..., for which Nemetschek Engineering Group design or detailing software has been used. » The focus is on the size of the structure, and the level of detailing, e.g. for the steel or concrete members and connections, or reinforcement. Category 4: Industrialized Planning Projects in which the detailing of reinforced concrete and steel constructions, general arrangement, formwork and reinforcement drawings, including generated bending lists, fabrication drawings and logistics are realized with Nemetschek Engineering Group software. This also includes projects executed with prefabricated elements, such as system walls and prefab floors. » Criteria are: size of projects, level of detailing, interoperability / BIM / CNC, originality and fitness for execution. Category 5: Special Projects Sustainable, ecological and green structures, scaffolding, works of art, mechanical equipment, projects such as storage tanks, conveyer belts, cold store installations, supporting structures, playground equipment, cranes, tubular connections… for which Nemetschek Engineering Group analysis or design software has been used. To this category also belong stages, stadiums and spectacular roofs. » Winning criteria are: originality, complexity and creativity. How were the projects judged? An international jury, from both the academic and professional community, gathered in March 2011 for the evaluation of all submitted projects. The judging was done under the moderation of a Nemetschek Engineering Group representative that watched over the correct application of the quotation procedure and contest rules. The jury took the following characteristics into account: • The technical level of the design, detailing and/or the calculations • The originality and prestige of the project • The attractiveness and completeness of the project and the way it was presented by the participator • The optimal use of the functionalities of the applied software In each of the 5 categories, one winner and three nominees were selected. From all the participating projects the jury also chose the ‘Special Jury BIM prize’. The selection criterion was the level of BIM and interoperability.
