Pass/fail results for any connection, based on AISC, Eurocode, etc.
250 ready-made templates, 10,000+ configurations
Easy application of any required loading to the project
Complete report including stiffness, seismicity and buckling

Steel member and related connections designed and code-checked by IDEA StatiCa

We solve your connections

Watch how IDEA StatiCa transforms one of the biggest pains of steel design into a practical solution for your daily work. No matter the complexity of geometry or loading, you can design and code-check whatever connections and joints your project requires. And get a comprehensive report which will prove it to everybody else. This is a connection design tool every structural engineer and detailer deserves to have.

Unique method and engine

IDEA StatiCa was the first one to combine the traditional Component method (i.e equations) with FEM analysis. Together with universities, we have created a method called CBFEM, tested it thoroughly, and enabled its usage in a beautiful engineering application.

Calculs fiables et vérifiés

Nous coopérons étroitement avec plusieurs universités pour tester et vérifier les résultats d'IDEA StatiCa. Peu importe la topologie, vos dessins sont complets, précis et en conformité avec AISC, Eurocode et autres normes de conception.

What do our customers say about us

We have used IDEA StatiCa on 6-10 different projects already. One project called Crabapple Market was six buildings, all part of a complex. Another company had the other eight buildings at the complex, and after the initial round of RFI’s and comments from the EOR, they chose to use us on any revisions and changes because of our calculation package (IDEA StatiCa) was superior to the other company.

Ryan K. Carpenter

Structural Engineer

La philosophie générale et les pratiques d'IDEA StatiCa nous aident à élaborer rapidement des assemblages si complexes que nous devrions les concevoir manuellement normalement. Dans IDEA StatiCa Connection, tous ces assemblages peuvent être résolus, et de plus, il n'y a pas de limites. Le flux de travail est le même, quelle que soit la géométrie. Une autre chose importante est que les détails de l'assemblage raisonnables entrainent un prix réduit de fabrication et le montage des charpentes a été relativement facile.

Byron Alexander Bezas

Ingénieur en structure supérieur – Ellis & Moore

IDEA StatiCa Connection works easy and fast. There is no other alternative solution on the market that provides both FEM and Component Based Method. IDEA Statica is a solid and good tool for the design of our steel connections.

Une fois que vous avez utilisé le logiciel pour quelque temps, il devient assez intuitif et plus facile à utiliser. Il est très puissant puisqu'il peut résoudre des assemblages très complexes.

Paul Heathcote

Directeur & Ingénieur en structure principal – Abacus Design Associates
United Kingdom

IDEA StatiCa offre une analyse de contrainte pour des attaches très complexes et le logiciel est très facile à utiliser. Il a aidé notre conception d'attaches principales de Marshall Building.

Mark Hill

Directeur adjoint – Bourne Group Ltd

La mise en œuvre d'IDEA StatiCa Connection dans nos flux de travail a réduit la consommation et manipulation de matériau et coûts de soudure en comparaison avec l'approche utilisé auparavant. Cela a aussi simplifié et accéléré le processus de fabrication.
