Steel

Concrete

v24.0

This article is also available in:

Version 24.0 represents two milestones. It celebrates 10 years since the release of the CBFEM method and IDEA StatiCa Connection, a decade of making the right connections. It also introduces a groundbreaking 3D concrete structural design solution for footings and walls loaded out of plane.

Version 24.0 highlights

Steel Connection Design

Parametric templates reduce clicks for standard connections by up to 80%.
Sketches now contain all necessary data for detailers (editable, readable).
Connection Library database increased from 400k to 700k, with new filters (AISC/EN,…).
One-click Weld Sizing to full capacity of all welds in the connection.
Auto-Design of Bolts for shear connections.
PJP Welds for AISC
Eurocode only: Modeling Pins, Welds optimization using machine learning.
Hooked anchors/L-bolts in AISC (Anchoring update for Australian/Indian codes).
A set of features and improvements for the comfort of everyday modeling routines.
You can change the language of the Report without affecting the language of the application.

Concrete Detail Design

Footings and Walls using 3D model type in IDEA StatiCa Detail. You can structurally design footings and walls loaded out of the plane and see their real behavior. This functionality is in BETA and early access, as verifications are still ongoing.
Intuitive modeling with bulk modifications, faster 3D scene, and calculation speed.
Report fully customizable, with theoretical background, and reordering of items.
Export of a footing from the Connection app to Detail.
Some small enhancements that have an immense impact on the Detail application.
Utilize the RCS API for streamlined and efficient design processes.

BIM and Checkbot

FREE version of Checkbot for engineers, detailers, EORs, and others without a commercial license of IDEA StatiCa. This replaces FREE CAD plugins.
Checkbot ready for big projects, reliably handling imports (<30 secs) from models with up to 1,000 nodes and opening them 50% faster due to improved file rendering.
Cloud app Viewer now displays load effects and has improved uptime and load time.
