IDEA StatiCa

IDEA StatiCa helps structural engineers examine how connections and concrete components respond to applied forces. Designers can build bolted or welded steel joints, study anchorage and foundations, and evaluate reinforced concrete details. It is suited to checking proposed designs before preparing drawings or sharing calculation records with colleagues. Results help identify components that may need revision.

It brings structural calculations and documented design checks together for connections and concrete components.

The program calculates stress, deformation and joint stiffness, with checks covering buckling, load limits and earthquake-related demands. For concrete work, it examines reinforcement strength, crack widths and deflection. Users can start from connection libraries or templates, import DXF geometry, and produce reports containing diagrams and formulas. Links to other structural design tools support the transfer of project information for analysis.

Features:

• Model bolted and welded steel joints
• Evaluate anchors and foundation connections
• Calculate stress, strain and joint stiffness
• Check concrete cracking and reinforcement strength
• Import geometry from DXF files
• Generate reports with diagrams and equations
