Case Study: Prodis delivers an efficient structural design for Budova Building with SCIA Engineer

Prodis designs Budova Building with SCIA for 26,000 m² of commercial space

The customer, Prodis, a structural engineering firm, faced the challenge of designing the non-standard load-bearing skeleton for the Budova Building, including its large exterior leaning columns. Their key challenge was finding the optimal amount of concrete reinforcement to ensure the right dimensions for these members. They utilized SCIA Engineer software from vendor SCIA to address this.

Using SCIA Engineer, Prodis effectively modeled the entire complex structure, including the subsoil. The software's functionalities, such as averaging strips and mesh refinement, reduced unrealistic peaks in results from the finite element analysis. The solution provided by SCIA enabled Prodis to achieve the right design, which successfully passed a rigorous safety and economy audit.
