Unique method and engine

IDEA StatiCa was the first one to combine the traditional Component method (i.e equations) with FEM analysis. Together with universities, we have created a method called CBFEM, tested it thoroughly, and enabled its usage in a beautiful engineering application.

Cálculos probados y fiables

Trabajamos estrechamente con numerosas universidades para probar y verificar los resultados de IDEA StatiCa. Independientemente de la geometría, sus diseños son completos, precisos y conformes con el AISC, el Eurocódigo y otros códigos de diseño.

What do our customers say about us

Ya hemos utilizado IDEA StatiCa en 6-10 proyectos diferentes. Un proyecto llamado Crabapple Market constaba de seis edificios, todos ellos parte de un complejo. Otra empresa tenía los otros ocho edificios en el complejo, y después de la ronda inicial de RFI y los comentarios de la EOR, optaron por utilizar nosotros en cualquier revisión y cambios debido a nuestro paquete de cálculo (IDEA StatiCa) era superior a la otra empresa.

Ryan K. Carpenter

Ingeniero Estructural

La filosofía general y las prácticas de IDEA StatiCa nos ayudaron a elaborar rápidamente conexiones tan complejas, que normalmente habríamos diseñado a mano. En IDEA StatiCa Connection, todas estas conexiones se volvieron solucionables, y aún mejor, no hay que tener ninguna consideración especial. El flujo de trabajo es común sin importar la geometría. Otra cosa importante es que los detalles de conexión razonables conducen a la reducción de los costes de fabricación, y el montaje de las cerchas fue relativamente fácil.

Byron Alexander Bezas

Senior Structural Engineer – Ellis & Moore
Reino Unido

IDEA StatiCa Connection funciona de forma fácil y rápida. No hay ninguna otra solución alternativa en el mercado que proporcione tanto el MEF como el método basado en componentes. IDEA Statica es una sólida y buena herramienta para el diseño de nuestras conexiones de acero.

Prof. Dr. Ir. Luc Schueremans

Engineering Manager

Una vez que se ha utilizado el software durante un tiempo, se vuelve bastante intuitivo y, por lo tanto, mucho más fácil de usar. Es muy potente en cuanto a la complejidad de las conexiones a las que puede hacer frente.

Paul Heathcote

Director & Principal Structural Engineer – Abacus Design Associates
Reino Unido

IDEA StatiCa permite realizar un análisis de tensiones en conexiones muy complejas y el software es muy fácil de usar. Esto nos ayudó a diseñar las conexiones de los nudos principales del edificio Marshall.

Mark Hill

Associate Director

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.
