SOFiSTiK to IDEA StatiCa workflow

Perform global analysis in FEM-Design
Export SAF file and import to IDEA StatiCa
Design selected connections
Code-check and optimize connections

About the SOFiSTiK plugin

You can export parts of your SOFiSTiK 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 SOFiSTiK 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 SOFiSTiK version 2023 and higher. Then you can run IDEA StatiCa Connection and start detailing the nodes of your choice. IDEA StatiCa and SOFiSTiK 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 SOFiSTiK. IDEA StatiCa does not take primary responsibility for maintaining this integration. All technical requirements and questions should be addressed to the link developer directly.
