1 Foreword With 117 impressive projects from over 23 countries, the Nemetschek Engineering Contest 2011 is again a big success. The projects described in the contest book illustrate the engineering power of our customers who are increasingly internationally active. The software users competed with projects in five categories: Buildings, Civil Structures, Industrial Buildings and Plants, Industrialized Planning and Special Projects (sustainable, green structures - scaffolding - stadiums...). A variety of software from the Nemetschek Engineering Group has been used: Allplan Engineering, Scia Engineer, Frilo Statics, GLASER -isb cad-, Allplan Precast, Precast Part Manager and/or Scia Steel. The Nemetschek Engineering Group software covers the whole spectrum of structural engineering design and detailing: from member design and detailing up to 3D BIM (Building Information Modelling) and integrated fabrication planning and steering. The Nemetschek User Contest 2011 book gives a close insight on how structures are planned and executed today. We congratulate sincerely the contest winners, and have to thank all contest participants for sharing their experiences with the large Nemetschek Engineering user community.
