SCIA Engineer models these using coupler types defined in Annex C of EN 12811-1 and custom manufacturer couples from Cuplock and Layher.Ĭouplers are available as an extensive library, where generic and manufacturers products are represented as sophisticated tri-dimensional hinges, nonlinear in both their translational and rotational response.ĭefined as systems in which the standards provide components for the connection to the other scaffold components (transoms and ledgers) at predefined (modular) intervals, their main advantage is a short erection time. Used widely because of their versatility, their adaptable components allow to build complex geometries easily. SCIA Engineer has been successfully used for years as an indispensable tool for the analysis and design of the following types of scaffold: SCIA Engineer combines these features with member and connection (coupler) checks for scaffolding structures according to EN 12811-1 and to manufacturer specifications. A number of generic and dedicated technologies in SCIA Engineer let engineers perform real Computer Aided Engineering in the field of scaffolding design: parametric blocks for faster modelling, project templates with loads and predefined reports, and advanced analysis options that cover various types of nonlinearity.
