SCIA offers local support teams who understand the local market, customs and practices and speak the client's language.
Every year SCIA drives innovation through a 30% investment in R&D, combined with inspiration and input from the own users. For over 40 years, SCIA has been and continues to be at the forefront of development in structural engineering software and is proud to has been first to market with many, now industry standard, features for structural analysis.
We are constantly looking for ways to improve the engineering workflow and to make BIM a workable reality for all. We are innovating to reduce the time it takes to create analysis models, to ensure structural models and analysis models show the same reality at every step in the project.
When I create an analytical link between a structural column and a beam,having already checked the box analytical link to the properties of the column, it does not seem to be transferred from Revit to Scia Engineer. However the manual shows that it should have been transferred. What else should I do? Maybe I make something wrong? Anyone who knows about the connection between those two programs may give me a piece of advice. Thank you in advance.
I do not use SCIA programs so I am just offering my experience using other programs. What I found is that the transferring of the analytical model is highly dependent on the 'cleanliness' of the analytical model in Revit itself. The 'linking program' does have some factors in the transfer also although this is very user specific in this case since everyone may use different engineering programs. In cases like this, it would be best to talk to the SCIA support or community forum rather than here since it would be more effective. I am sorry if this does not fully help (or at all).
Tresca and von Mises yield conditions are suitable for ductile materials in general, such as metals (steel, aluminium...). It is a symmetric behaviour, acting in the same way in tension and compression, with or without hardening in the plastic branch. Drucker-Prager and Mohr-Coulomb yield conditions are suitable for materials with different strength in tension and compression (concrete, soil). .
The plastic behaviour of materials may be combined with other types of non-linearity in SCIA Engineer. For instance, plasticity, press only supports and large displacement analysis can be used together. Tension only 1D members with a plastic limit forces may be used to model the behaviour of bolts in a connection.
The typical first application of general plasticity is the detailed analysis of non-standard steel construction connections, where simplified methods do not apply. It may however be applied to any structure that can be modelled using 2D members.
The von Mises yield criterion suggests that the yielding of materials begins when the second deviatoric stress invariant J2 reaches a critical value. For this reason, it is sometimes called the J2-plasticity or J2 flow theory. It is part of a plasticity theory that applies best to ductile materials, such as metals. Prior to yield, material response is assumed to be elastic.
In materials science and engineering the von Mises yield criterion can be also formulated in terms of the von Mises stress or equivalent tensile stress, , a scalar stress value that can be computed from the Cauchy stress tensor. In this case, a material is said to start yielding when its von Mises stress reaches a critical value known as the yield strength, . The von Mises stress is used to predict yielding of materials under any loading condition from results of simple uniaxial tensile tests. The von Mises stress satisfies the property that two stress states with equal distortion energy have equal von Mises stress.
Because the von Mises yield criterion is independent of the first stress invariant, I1, it is applicable for the analysis of plastic deformation for ductile materials such as metals, as the onset of yield for these materials does not depend on the hydrostatic component of the stress tensor.
Drilling rotations at each node is used for in-plane loading. This means that element has six degrees of freedom at each node and is therefore compatible with other types of elements (beam/solid elements). Within the element area the Gauss 2x2 quadrature points are used. Each of these Gauss quadrature points is realized by nine Gauss-Lobatto quadrature points throughout the thickness, so the four-node element has 2x2x9=36 quadrature points in total. Due to these Gauss-Lobatto points the element can handle bending loading with high accuracy. In all of these points the nonlinear model is computed independently using the plane stress formulation. Linear transversal shear stiffness is assumed.
General plasticity is a specific type of non-linearity in SCIA Engineer. After defining the suitable data in the project a non-linear analysis must be carried out to calculate the plastic behaviour of the structure. Please refer to the general information about non-linear analysis in SCIA Engineer.
The non-linearity of materials is defined directly in the material library. See the property group Material behaviour for non-linear analysis. By default, all materials in the library are set as elastic. This means, that the selected material will behave elastically during a non-linear analysis. The plastic properties of materials are generic, code independent in SCIA Engineer and are therefore available for any material, regardless of the selected design code.
The stress-strain relationship is automatically generated from 3 parameters: Young's modulus (elastic part), yield stress for uniaxial tension and, optionally, hardening modulus (slope of the plastic branch).
Only the tension part of the diagram is defined, as it is related to a plastification condition in general 3D stress state in principal stress directions. Some plastification models allow for a different yield stress in compression, which is defined separately. There is no limit (ultimate) strain value for the analysis. When the actual strain value in the structure exceeds the defined diagram, the diagram is extrapolated, tangent to the last defined segment of the stress-strain relationship. The reason for that is, that the analysis would then fail and it would be impossible for the user to find where the problem is located in the structure. It is therefore preferable, that the analysis continues and that the user checks the obtain strain values after the analysis.
Although various types of non-linearity may be combined in the same project, it is not possible to cumulate several types of non-linearity on the same 2D member. The property FEM non-linear model, when combined with a plastic material, will behave as follows:
A structural design process consists of several or perhaps many design iterations. For each iteration, a civil engineer designs a structural model and uses structural analysis software, such as SCIA Engineer, to perform an assessment. If the SCIA software indicates that a structure does not meet the requirements or if some input has changed, this cycle is repeated. Therefore, this can be a very time-consuming process. The more manual actions, the greater the risk of errors.
