IDEA StatiCa Connection offers a very simple and easy way to edit plates that are part of the connection (stiffeners, wideners, etc.). 

In case you need to change the shape of a plate of your steel joint, you can adjust it quickly and simply in the Plate editor. You can select from various manufacturing operations – rounding, offset, bevel, chamfer, and others.
