IDEA StatiCa Steel is a cutting-edge software tool designed for the analysis and design of steel structures, featuring the Connection and Member modules. It enables precise modelling and code-compliant design of steel connections, columns, and other structural elements. By leveraging advanced Component-Based Finite Element Analysis (CBFEM), the software ensures accurate assessment of stress, strain, and load distribution, facilitating efficient and reliable structural solutions.
Connection Module
The Connection module allows for precise and secure design of various steel connections and members. IDEA StatiCa Connection provides a comprehensive design report, including all Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) checks for:
- Steel connections (e.g., welded and bolted connections)
- Beam-to-column connections
- Truss connections
- Splices
- Timber-steel connections
- General steel assemblies
- Complex connections
Regardless of their complexity, IDEA StatiCa Connection lets you analyse and design all necessary connections and steel connection details quickly and safely, generating a comprehensive report to substantiate your design.
Member Module
Struggling with critical safety issues such as stability and buckling? The IDEA StatiCa Member module offers efficient, fast, and accurate member design. With this tool, you can:
- Analyse and design any steel frame, beam, and column safely and quickly
- Avoid estimating buckling lengths, and understand strut stability, torsion, and deplanation
- Provide clear and comprehensive design reports for every critical steel member in PDF or DOCX format
Confidently design and code-check critical members of your projects, such as girders, beams, columns, and frames. Perform quick and accurate analysis of their load response, stability, and buckling calculations without the traditional oversimplification.
The easy-to-use interactive application allows you to perform advanced analysis of members modelled in 3D by shell elements, with detailed connection models including all stiffeners, bolts, and openings. Accurately simulate the behaviour of your structures and members using code-based geometrically and materially nonlinear analysis with imperfection (GMNIA) for final checks.
With IDEA StatiCa Steel, engineers can push the boundaries of structural design, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance. Empower your projects with the precision and reliability that only advanced analysis tools can provide, and transform your approach to steel structure design.
