FAQ

The database of Connection Library is based on data collected through another IDEA StatiCa cloud application for sharing project files - Viewer. Collected connection designs were anonymized and stripped of all the data but cross-sections, members, and building code. No data from our desktop applications was used to build the Connection Library database.

No, they are not. And they cannot be; we stripped them of all data, including loadings. 

These design examples are set to guide the way how such steel connections could be modeled. You can download them and use them as model templates for your own design project. Just apply the respective loading as per project needs, and calculate them.

No, the Connection Library on your desktop works only with data of your IDEA StatiCa installation - predefined connection designs, your company set, and your private set. 

Yes, you can! Just upload them to the IDEA StatiCa Viewer

It usually takes us a few weeks to process all the new data and update the database of results.
