Peace of mind for your projects

Thousands of verified tests with stellar R&D partners. IDEA StatiCa is leading the industry in safety.

Proven, reliable calculations

We work closely with numerous universities to test and verify IDEA StatiCa results to give you peace of mind that your designs are complete, accurate, and in accordance with major global design codes.

Unique CBFEM method for steel

IDEA StatiCa was the first to combine the traditional Component method (equations) with FEM analysis. The new method is called Component-based Finite Element Method (CBFEM) and has been thoroughly tested in close cooperation with two technical universities and HILTI.

Unique CSFM method for concrete

IDEA StatiCa Concrete section checks have been validated thoroughly by numerous comparison calculations. Working closely with the university ETH Zurich, we have also created and tested a method called Compatible Stress Field Method (CSFM) for the design of discontinuities.

You do not have to be a FEA expert

You model the connection as you do in a CAD application. IDEA StatiCa puts the analytical model together, in the background, taking into account all the forces and interactions. You get precise checks, results of stress/strain, stiffness, and buckling analysis. It also checks bolts, welds, and concrete block. This is the software for steel connection design that works for you.
