New Features in SCAD Office v25.1

SCAD Soft has released an update to SCAD Office, making the software more powerful and convenient for structural engineers. The new version extends Eurocode calculations, improves dynamic analysis, and strengthens integration with BIM platforms.

European Code Support

SCAD Office v25.1 continues to expand its Eurocode (EN 1993-1-1) capabilities:

cross-section class is considered in design factors;

members belonging to a braced frame can now be accounted for;

continuous beam analysis to EN 1993-1-1 is implemented;

the list of European steel sections is expanded;

European steel grades can now be used with other design codes.

These improvements make SCAD Office more convenient for designers working to Kazakhstan's SP RK EN and international standards.

New SCAD Capabilities

Calculation of open sections made from cold-formed profiles.

Maximum and minimum forces and stresses can be obtained over all time steps during direct integration of equations of motion.

Bimoment loading has been added.

• Progressive collapse analysis can now be performed using nonlinear analysis.

Nonlinear analysis of construction stages is implemented.

Both elastic and inelastic foundations can be defined for physically nonlinear plate elements.

Import and export of physically nonlinear material data are implemented.

The load combination postprocessor now provides color indication of deflections.

The interactive graphical environment has more options for creating analysis models and reviewing results.

BIM Integration

SCAD Office enhances connectivity with leading BIM systems:

a Revit 2026 add-in now supports bidirectional data exchange;

SAF 2.2.0 file import is implemented (compatible with ArchiCAD);

a Tekla 2025 add-in simplifies connecting analytical models to detailing and drawing production.

Additional Modules

• The Accelerogram Editor now offers balancing preview, baseline correction, and filtering.

The Arbat module now has a mode for creating lifting loop drawings.

SCAD and Magnum now automatically account for protective coating thickness.

Magnum includes calculations that account for perforation.
