We used SCIA Engineer during the scheme design phase to ascertain the most appropriate structural solution. A post-tensioned RC frame was chosen due to the open-plan office space requirements. From the design model, we were able to develop the most efficient frame arrangement. The model was then developed and used for the load-takedown for pile design. Columns and shear walls were designed in SCIA Engineer. One of the main benefits was the development of the complicated steelwork cladding system that surrounds the building. Since the steelwork model was created in the software, we were able to carry out design checks as the frame progressed, and when we were happy with the steelwork frame, were able to link this into Revit. This saved time and effort and avoided having to redraw. In parallel we modelled the concrete frame in Revit and the steelwork cladding in SCIA Engineer and analyzed and design checked the model. We then imported the SCIA Engineer model into Revit, which worked seamlessly and saved time. Construction issue drawings were then produced. There were issues on site so we re-ran the analysis and reviewed the design to amend connection details and locations.
