Faster Connections with Parametric Design

Focus on design efficiency, create company standards, and win back valuable time

BUILD ONCE, REUSE EVERYWHERE

Stop remodeling similar joints. Using parametric design in IDEA StatiCa, define the geometry, members, and operations once, adjust an input, and watch all dependent operations update automatically:

  • Start faster with over 200 validated templates
  • Eliminate repetitive modeling – build once, reuse everywhere
  • Ensure safer collaboration between senior and junior designers
  • Customize less thanks to embedded parametric control

STANDARDIZE WITH COMPANY SETS

Control which templates your team sees, restrict editable parameters, and create internal standards across all offices and projects:

  • Limit designs to approved connection types
  • Lock bolt grades, spacings, and materials to your specs
  • Standardize designs across users and locations
  • Enable built-in quality assurance without manual review

SOLVE ANY NODE WITHOUT COMPROMISES

Many real nodes can’t be solved by a single template. Just open the Operations panel, add what's missing, and keep your model compliant and editable without spreadsheets or workarounds.

  • Insert stiffeners, welds, or cuts without breaking the model
  • Handle irregular geometry in a single, editable template
  • Tackle late changes and avoid rework or splitting nodes into separate checks
  • Automate tasks via the Connection API using Python or C#
