How to model, load, analyse, and design a practical steel frame structure in one live SCIA Engineer workflow
You didn’t get into engineering to spend your day copying forces into spreadsheets, checking whether every assumption still holds after a change, or rebuilding calculations every time the geometry evolves. You want to understand how the structure behaves and make sound decisions early – not lose time on repetitive work.
In this first of a three-part webinar series on steel frame structures, we’ll show you how SCIA Engineer helps you make that shift: automating repetitive work, keeping your design transparent and traceable, and freeing up time to engineer a safe, economical steel frame structure.
What you’ll learn
- A complete steel frame workflow, modelled and designed in SCIA Engineer
- How to model, load, analyse and design steel frames
- Best practices for automating repetitive modelling and design tasks
- How to generate clear, code-referenced documentation automatically
Who should attend
- Structural engineers creating steel frame structures
- Engineering firms interested in structural workflow optimization
- Current SCIA Engineer users who want to optimize their workflows
- Structural steel designers and detailers
Why attend
- Save hours on repetitive modelling, loading and reporting tasks
- Walk away confident applying SCIA Engineer to your own projects
- See a full workflow, from concept to a compliant design, in one session
- Get documentation your reviewers and clients can trust at a glance

Bjorn Vandensteendam is Team Lead of Technical Services at ALLPLAN, where he provides advanced training and engineering support for structural design software, including SCIA Engineer. Before joining ALLPLAN in 2018, he spent over seven years in the engineering department at voestalpine Sadef, focusing on the analysis and design of steel structures. Bjorn holds a master’s degree in civil engineering (construction) from Ghent University.
This is the first of three webinars in our steel frame series. In the second webinar, we focus on stability, second-order analysis and imperfections; in the third, we move the model into SDS2 for steel detailing and drawing generation. Together, these sessions show you how SCIA Engineer and SDS2 help you make the shift toward software that gives you back time to engineer.
