The solution was stable and fast and everything was done with minimum effort thanks to IDEA StatiCa. It took a third of the time it would have taken us by hand. We’ll definitely use it in the future. It's an eye opener. We knew it could be done, but we didn’t know it would be that easy.
When designing a structure, we always strive for a reliable and precise design. At the same time, we also look at the proposed design's economic aspects to save the investor the maximum amount of money.
Thanks to IDEA StatiCa, we were able to assess the pile head very accurately and design the thickness of the foundation slab accordingly.
I didn't want to model the same node time and again. So, I picked out the decisive points in the structure and rotated them with the vector in the Z direction. This way, I could copy the same connection repeatedly and just input the cross-sections, the angles, and the size of the loads from an Excel sheet. This helped me a lot in calculating the size of the points for this structure.

IDEA StatiCa has transformed the way I view finite element analysis. IDEA StatiCa gives me the flexibility to model anchors and flange connections with complex parts and geometries and provides an in-depth picture as to how these components are behaving structurally. IDEA StatiCa has been an invaluable tool providing us as a client with solutions to our most complex challenges.
