IDEA StatiCa is engineering software for structural design and code-check of connections, cross-sections, beams, and other details.
Meet IDEA StatiCa
Watch a 3-minute video and discover how IDEA StatiCa improves the work of structural engineers and detailers. Unique technology, breath-taking user interface, comprehensive code-checks, customizable reports. All according to AISC, Eurocode and other national standards.
Works with your software
IDEA StatiCa automatically links with your software to let you export and synchronize data. This minimizes errors and repetitive work so you can focus on more crucial tasks - proper analysis, design and code-check of connections, cross-sections, members and details.
Safety first
Clear pass/fail checks. Complete reports. Design assumptions explained. Thousands of
tests ensure your project is safe and ready to build so you can rest easy.
Save time
Save time designing and code-checking connections and details. Hundreds of templates, no limits to topology.
Design confidence
Quickly assess the buildability of connections and details at any phase of a project. Better presentation of your work to customers.
Leverage BIM
Import data from CAD or FEA applications. Synchronized assumptions adjust to reflect any changes made. Minimize errors.

What do our customers say about us?
We have become early adopters of IDEA StatiCa because its advanced design and check process is both powerful and quick enough to be a useful tool in our everyday work as structural engineers for fabricators.

Thanks to IDEA StatiCa Connection, we have done in our project each steel connection is less than 1 day what would have taken more than a week with the old processes. Today, I only use ADC with some side manual verifications.

Implementation of IDEA StatiCa Connection to our workflows decreases the consumption and handling of the material and the welding costs in comparison to the previously used approach. This went hand in hand with simplifying and speeding up the production process.

IDEA StatiCa allows us to design a much wider range of connections, in less time, as well as look into the stiffness behaviour of connections to see how this interacts with the global structural analysis.

IDEA StatiCa Connection is a very helpful package for the modeling of a wide range of joints in steel structures. Modeling and interpretation of the results requires an understanding of the forces within a node and is equal to the complexity of the connection.
