NO MORE STRUGGLES WITH CONNECTION DESIGN
FAST CONNECTION DESIGN
Receive clear pass/fail checks, according to your code, in minutes. IDEA StatiCa enables you to shorten your connection design time by up to 80% by providing you with:
- A database of 10,000+ pre-designed 2D/3D connections, footings, HSS connections, steel-to-timber, and parametric templates
- The ability to model and design any bolted and welded connection quickly and safely
- Comprehensive AISC checks, including advanced analyses of buckling, stiffness, bearing capacity, and seismic
- Fully customizable reports with equations and pictures that help prove and sell your work
ANY GEOMETRY AND LOADING
Design steel connections of any type or complexity. Start from scratch, define property dependencies using parametric design, or import connections from your CAD or FEA software. Apply loading, visualize behavior, and generate full sketches and reports. Connections include:
- Steel 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
DESIGN CONNECTIONS, ANALYZE, AND REPORT
AVOID OVERDESIGNED CONNECTIONS
Based on our research and discussions with fabricators and contractors, the overall cost of fabricated structural steel can be broken into equal thirds for raw material, fabrication, and erection. This means that raw materials and fabrication are roughly 2/3 of the overall steel cost. IDEA StatiCa for steel connection design helps you dramatically lower these costs by:
- Reducing the number of overdesigned structural steel connections
- Enabling engineers and detailers to share accurate and actionable steel connection data quickly
- Using efficiently designed connections to decrease carbon consumption during fabrication
Ready for seismic design
IDEA StatiCa perfectly aligns with the AISC codes for prequalified connections.
By comparing IDEA StatiCa's moment capacities with established AISC procedures, the extensive study of The Ohio State University validated the software's accuracy in predicting seismic steel connection behavior.
The results obtained for five different moment connections were compared and evaluated with the experiments, AISC design calculations, IDEA StatiCa, and ABAQUS.
