A few years back, I advanced on a Grasshopper plugin to generate SCIA Engineer structural analysis data. For a few different reasons, this stalled and didn’t work as successfully as I would have liked.
Late last year I started work again on the ability to convert Structural Analysis IFC files into SCIA, and now I’ve enabled the same code into a revived Grasshopper plugin.
It’s now available from http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads At present it can generate beam elements with releases, restraints etc. I will be looking to enable loads, area elements and other features that users might request so please get in touch.
Here’s a sample gh script to start with.
