MasterSap 4U - IDEA StatiCa Checkbot BIM link
MasterSap 4U to IDEA StatiCa workflow
About the MasterSap 4U plugin
You can export parts of your MasterSap 4U model in SAF format containing the model geometry, materials, and cross-sections used, as well as the internal force results for specified load cases and combinations. This allows you to model, design, load, and check steel connections of any topology and loading. IDEA StatiCa and MasterSap 4U give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.
After creating a New project in IDEA Checkbot, you can proceed with importing your model. Simply use the SAF Import command and select the SAF file generated by MasterSap 4U. Then you can run IDEA StatiCa Connection and start detailing the nodes of your choice. IDEA StatiCa and MasterSap 4U give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, and opens up optimization possibilities.
Note
This SAF-based integration is developed and maintained by MasterSap 4U. IDEA StatiCa does not take primary responsibility for maintaining this integration. All technical requirements and questions should be addressed to the link developer directly.
