Fast compound design
Get clear pass/drop results to your standard in just a few minutes. IDEA StatiCa reduces joint design time by up to 80% by providing: a base with more than 10,000 pre-designed 2D/3D joints, foundations, steel-wood joints and others. The ability to quickly and safely model and design all welded and screw joints. Comprehensive AISC analysis with advanced functions such as buckling analysis and seismic calculations. Customizable reports with equations and images that further support and sell your work.
Any geometry and loads
Design steel joints of any type or complexity. Start over or import compounds from your CAD or FEA software. Apply simple or complex loads, visualize the behavior of compounds, and generate sketches and detailed reports. Joints include: moment steel joints in steel structures, shear and axial joints, including seismic. The joints of the beam to the beam, the beam to the pole, the pole to the pole and the pole to the base plate.
Avoid pre-designed compounds
According to a publication on the cost of steel structures (SCI, BCSA and TATA Steel), the combined cost of fabrication and materials accounts for about 60-80% of the final product. The idea StatiCa for the design of steel joints helps to significantly reduce these costs: by reducing the number of over-engineered steel joints, by enabling the rapid exchange of precise data on the joints between engineers and detailers, by using efficiently designed joints that reduce carbon consumption during production.
Solve critical steel element
Confidently design and check the key elements of your projects – main supports, beams, columns, frames, etc. Perform a quick and accurate analysis of their load response, stability and buckling calculations, without the need for traditional simplifications.
No more estimates of buckling length and joint rigidity
Using an easy-to-use interactive application, you can carry out an advanced analysis of elements modeled in 3D with a view of all joints, ribbed plates, screws and openings. Accurately simulate the behavior of your constructions using geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis with imperfections (GMNIA) for final checks to standards.
Calculation of steel without re-entry
Calculate any steel compound or element without re-entering the data you already have in another application. Import and sync all your connections and members and reduce design time by up to 80%!
BIM tools for your entire workflow
Not everyone needs IDEA StatiCa installed on their computer, which manages hundreds of connections using Checkbot. But anyone can examine connections in our free cloud app, Viewer, and developers can export from their CAD using appropriate plugins.
