A semi-numerical method that checks if concrete sections are cracked or uncracked based on linear analysis internal forces. It accounts for: Reduced stiffness due to cracking. Long-term effects like creep and shrinkage. Crack Control for 2D Members: Supports plates, shells, and walls. Features include:

A free version is available for educational purposes. You can find installation guides for the SCIA Engineer Student version on platforms like Scribd. Trial Version:

Users can typically request a temporary "try-out" license through the Protection Setup during initial installation. Viewer Mode:

Specifically for prestressed concrete, determining if a section remains uncompressed under specific load combinations. Concrete Design Improvements:

Calculation of crack width on both surfaces of a 2D member in the direction of principal stresses. Accounting for tension stiffening between cracks. Decompression Checks:

Version 21 unified the concrete setup and improved reinforcement design workflows, such as quick edits for provided reinforcement templates. Legitimate Access Options
