IDEA Statica UK

IDEA StatiCa is a revolutionary software that filled a big gap that existed for many years in steel connection design, between simple software that are not capable of handling complex connections, and highly sophisticated FEM tools that are not productive enough to be used by practicing engineers, and do not provide code checks. IDEA StatiCa uses Finite Elements Analysis to calculate the internal

forces within a joint, enabling the engineer to design any connection (of any number of members, loading and cross sections) even if it is not covered by current standards, such as EC3. At the same time, it offers some unique features like Local Buckling analysis, Joint resistance, and Stiffness analysis/classification, which provide much more information for the real behaviour of the connection. It also offers BIM links with global analysis software, such as SCIA Engineer, ETABS, STAAD.Pro, Robot and others, and also CAD software like REVIT, TEKLA Stuctures and Advance Steel.
