Automate manual workflow steps

Stop checking connections one by one. Import the design from your FEA or CAD model with IDEA StatiCa Checkbot. Automatically group connections by type, load case, or model status.

  • Map materials and cross-sections with ease
  • Track imported items and see their check status in the 3D scene
  • Design dozens of connection in one go
  • Analyze critical load combinations to avoid overchecking

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.
