The new version of IDEA StatiCa is here! It is the biggest implementation of customer feedback and wishes we have had in years. And that means something – IDEA StatiCa is used by over 3500 customers who share more than 4000 unique IDEA StatiCa projects every month.

How did we get from number 10 to 20? The sheer volume of new functionalities seems to justify the “+10,” but the reason is more straightforward – align the numbering with year count. In 2020, we release IDEA StatiCa 20.

This version brings an exceptional volume of new features and improvements. All that with our focus to enable engineers to work faster, evaluate the requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. Highlights are:

  • New online licensing system – no more hassle with installation
  • IDEA StatiCa can now generate “sketches” to speed up the detailing process
  • 110 new connection templates added to the starting wizard
  • Steel-to-timber connections can now be designed and checked
  • Cross-section databases are now automatically filtered based on your regional settings
  • Hong Kong and Indian codes are now supported

We hope you will enjoy all our new features and improvements and would love to hear your feedback anytime. 

BTW, expect a little break from new features in Steel for the rest of the year. The 2020 autumn release will be focused on Concrete and BIM.
