BE SAFE, SAVE TIME, OPTIMIZE
Perform accurate steel connection and member design of any complexity. From welded and bolted structural steel connections to base plates, refine your connection and member designs by leveraging
- Intuitive design of any simple-to-complex steel connection
- 2D/3D, CHS/HSS steel connections pass/fail results according to AISC, EN, etc.
- 250+ ready-made templates and 10,000+ connection configurations
- The application of any axial, shear, and moment connection loading
- Detailed reporting, including stiffness, seismicity, and buckling
OUR CBFEM METHOD FOR STEEL
To ensure you use leading technology you can trust, IDEA StatiCa has combined the traditional Component method (equations) with FEM analysis to create the Component-based Finite Element Method (CBFEM). CBFEM is thoroughly tested in cooperation with two technical universities and HILTI.
STEEL CONNECTION DESIGN OF ANY COMPLEXITY
No matter their complexity, the IDEA StatiCa Connection application lets you safely design and code-check all necessary connections and steel connection details, fast, and generate a comprehensive report to prove it to everybody else.
FAST CONNECTION DESIGN
Receive clear pass/fail checks, according to your code, in minutes. IDEA StatiCa enables you to shorten your connection design time by up to 80% by providing you with:
• A database of 10,000+ pre-designed 2D/3D connections, footings, CHS and HSS connections, steel-to-timber, and other connections
• The ability to model and design any bolted and welded connection quickly and safely
• Comprehensive AISC, including advanced analyses such as buckling, stiffness analysis, design resistance, and seismic
• Fully customizable reports with equations and pictures that help prove and sell your work
• The ability to model and design any bolted and welded connection quickly and safely
• Comprehensive AISC, including advanced analyses such as buckling, stiffness analysis, design resistance, and seismic
• Fully customizable reports with equations and pictures that help prove and sell your work
ANY GEOMETRY AND LOADING
Design steel connections of any type or complexity. Start from scratch or import connections directly from your CAD or FEA software. Apply simplified or complex loading, visualize the behavior, and generate connection sketches and detailed reports. Connections include:
• Steel moment connections in steel structures, shear and axial connections, including seismic
• Beam to beam, beam to column, column to column, or column to base plate connections
• Beam to beam, beam to column, column to column, or column to base plate connections
SAFELY DESIGN ANY STEEL MEMBER
Is solving critical safety issues such as stability and buckling a struggle? Using the IDEA StatiCa Member application, you can enjoy efficient, fast, and accurate member design, and:
• Analyze and design any steel frame, beam, and column safely and quickly
• Stop estimating buckling lengths and understand strut stability, torsion, and deplanation
• Provide a clear and comprehensive design report for every critical steel member in PDF or docx
• Stop estimating buckling lengths and understand strut stability, torsion, and deplanation
• Provide a clear and comprehensive design report for every critical steel member in PDF or docx
SOLVE THE CRITICAL STEEL MEMBER
Confidently design and code-check the critical members of your projects – girders, beams, columns, frames, etc. Perform quick and accurate analysis of their load response, stability, and buckling calculations without traditional oversimplification.
NO MORE ESTIMATES OF BUCKLING LENGTHS AND CONNECTION STIFFNESS
Using the easy-to-use interactive application, perform advanced analysis of members modeled in 3D by shell elements with a detailed connection model with all stiffeners, bolts, openings, etc. Accurately simulate the behavior of your structures and members and use code-based geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis with imperfection (GMNIA) for final checks.
SEAMLESS STEEL DESIGN
Design any steel connection or member without re-entering data you already have in another application. Import and synchronize all your connections and members and slash design time by up to 80%!
