IDEA StatiCa allows a stress analysis to be carried out on very complex connections and the software is very easy to use. This aided our connection design for the main node connections on The Marshall Building.
IDEA StatiCa Connection works easy and fast. There is no other alternative solution on the market that provides both FEM and Component Based Method. IDEA Statica is a solid and good tool for the design of our steel connections.
I used IDEA StatiCa to perform a peer review on the connections for a 38m tall timber arches spanning over 38m. IDEA StatiCa allowed me to analyse these connections in detail, identifying areas in the connections with had higher stresses than others. IDEA StatiCa played a crucial role in ensuring robust and efficient connections for this unique structure. This project had a tight deadline making it impractical to make manual hand calculations. IDEA StatiCa allowed us to quickly model each of the connections and review the capacities of bolts, welds, and other components in the connection.
We primarily use IDEA StatiCa for steel connection design, particularly complex steel connections. Prior to that, we had to rationalize complex connections into a more simplified approach. Now, we can analyze those in one go and get a better outcome. We are definitely more optimized with IDEA StatiCa.
“At Tectum Mechanics, we specialise in design automation services for engineering consultancies. IDEA StatiCa has become a crucial tool in our workflow, offering powerful features like finite element analysis for complex connections and comprehensive code-based compliance checks. Its seamless integration with Tekla Structures and other analysis software simplifies the process of importing connection geometry and loading data. With an intuitive UI, IDEA StatiCa is now our go-to recommendation for clients in need of reliable connection design software.”
