Curtain Wall Design Course

The training uses SCIA ENGINEER 20. You can order a trial license using this link.

Please install the legacy version in order to be able to work with the SGD Module.

The trial license works for any SCIA ENGINEER version, if you want to download SCIA 20 please use this link.

Part 5 uses also the SGD Module (Structural Glass Design Addon) which can be requested using this link.

ALLPLAN Trial license can be requested using this link.
