Building cost certainty throughintegrated calculation of quantities Structural analysis as anintegral part of the building design process

In building and in civil engineeringprojects you will contribute decisively to the accurate prediction of the project cost by using Nemetschek solutions. You will always have – almost as a by-product – an up-to-date estimate of the quantities for your design. If design changes are made, you can very quickly determine the effect on the cost of the project. With the integrated Nemetschek cost planning solution you are always in the position to advise the client regarding the cost of the project. Incidentally: Nemetschek is the only company with TÜVcertification for this powerful VOB-compliant method of working. Nemetschek’s pioneering “Round-TripEngineering” integrates the structural analysis seamlessly into the overall design process. CAD component geometry is transferred directly into the structural analysis program and the results are fed back directly into the CAD design. Double data entry becomes a thing of the past and you are able to achieve consistent results quickly. The structural analysis, for example, includes verification of the load path through the building, FEA calculations (2D/3D, e.g. for plates and discs) and structural calculations for individual components(building beams, building columns etc.). Whether youmake alterations in CAD or in the structural analysis program, the data will be automatically updated in both direction.
