No more struggle with steel connection design
Connection design simplified
IDEA StatiCa is an industry-leading steel connection design software. You get clear pass/fail checks as per code in minutes. IDEA StatiCa will save up to 80% of your connection design time because of:
- A huge database of pre-designed 2D/3D connections, footings, CHS and HSS connections, steel-to-timber, and other connections
- Quick modeling and design of any bolted and welded connections
- Thorough AISC/EN checks, including buckling, stiffness analysis, design resistance, and seismic
- Fully customizable reports with equations and pictures that sell
ANY GEOMETRY AND LOADING
Design any type of steel connection from scratch or import it from your analysis or detailing software. Apply simplified or complex loading. Visualize the connection behavior. Generate connection sketches and bill of material in seconds. IDEA StatiCa gets your connection design done for every configuration of steel connections you need:
- Moment connections in steel structures, shear and axial connections, including seismic
- Beam to beam, beam to column, column to column, or column to base plate connections
All steel connection types – simple, moderate, complex

The ultimate connection database
IDEA StatiCa has a default set of connections - 250 types, 10.000+ configurations. The feature Connection Browser makes this only a start:
- Create a Company set of connections and upload your previous designs or the most repetitive connections from your fabricator - all your colleagues using the license will see them right away!
- Browse through thousands of sample projects, webinar projects and case studies and add them to your set
Build your ultimate connection database, do projects faster, and impress your customers!
What is complete connection design?
Steel as well as concrete
Accurate design of welded connections, bolted connections, and footing and anchoring. Overall stress and strain check, buckling shapes, equivalent stress, plastic strain, the stress in contacts, bolt forces, and deformations. All components and steel connection details are taken into account. Anchor check, concrete check, and shear lug. Geometrically and materially non-linear analysis.

What do our customers say about us?
Report that sells your work
Export all the calculations in a readable and presentable document in PDF and docx. You can build the report by adding/removing pictures, sketches, code-check results, formulas and explanations, bill of material. Sell your work by adding beautiful and accurate 3D visuals of the geometry and results.
