1. Westok cellular non-composite and composite beams
CADS Link SCIA Engineer-Westok Cellbeam
Westok cellular non-composite and composite beams

2. Model in SCIA Engineer Global 3D model of structure
Different materials in one model
Interaction of all members
Unlimited number of load cases
No module for design of Westok
cellular beams

3. Westok Cellbeam Design/check performed in manufacturer software
Each beam is separate, independent
structure
Limited number of load cases in the
software
Time consuming modelling in case of many
beams

4. CADS Link Part of SCIA Engineer
Transfers geometry and loadings from Scia Engineer 3D model to Cellbeam software single beams
Automatically generates lateral top restraints, where secondary beams are connected to the main beam
After beams design in Westok software, updated sections/ holes sizes are transferred back to SCIA Engineer

5. Example:
3D model of the whole structure built and analysed in SCIA Engineer (beams with Westok sections)

6. After running the link (export ), geometry data and loadings for all Westok beams are transferred to Westok Cellbeam, and can be designed

7. After design in Westok software updated sections are transferred back to SCIA Engineer ( import), and may be used in global analysis of the structure
