IDEA StatiCa Connection
Digitally signed app
Leírás
IDEA StatiCa Connection enables engineers to analyze, design and check steel connections/joints of any topology and loading. And does it in minutes.
It works as a standalone application as well as the next step in workflow started in programs Autodesk® Advance Steel®, Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Robot™ Structural Analysis Professional.
Any topology:
- Welded/bolted connections, base plate, footing, anchoring
- Rolled, welded or cold-formed sections
- Cuts, stiffeners, wideners, ribs, openings, end plates, fin plates, gusset plates, stubs, cleats
- More joints in one project, complete code-checks, overall report, bill of material, drawings
- General cross-section - welded sections composed of any number of different profiles
Any loading and analysis:
- Nonlinear analysis of steel profiles and plates, bolts in tension and shear, welds, and pins. 2D or 3D loading
- Several design codes support (EN, AISC-LRFD, AISC-ASD, CISC, AS, SP, GB, HKG, IS)
- Buckling analysis - local buckling of any plate in the connection
- Stiffness analysis - initial stiffness and deformation capacity of any connected member
- Capacity design - check the connection on the maximal moment which can be taken by the connected member
- Design joint resistance - a ratio of maximal load to the design load
- Fatigue - determine normal and shear stress range between two load cases
- Fire analysis
- Horizontal tying

IDEA StatiCa Connection is based on a unique CBFEM method that combines finite element and component method. Model and mesh creation is fully automated and enables structural engineers and fabricators to properly check any joint according to various design codes.
The installation also includes IDEA StatiCa Checkbot for BIM workflows and IDEA StatiCa Member for analysis for stability-sensitive members.

Very good! Great
Please download 22.0.2 version - it is already linked with Robot 2023.
I downloaded it but it seems it doesn't work again. there is not the connection key in project -import
I tested it out of Revit and was really powerfull. I don't know other software with this capabilities to make any desired joint. Go to test how it works with Revit...............
Do we need to purchase robot structural analysis and structural analysis took kit to use this connection design feature? or can we just have this took and revit only to design the connection?
IDEA StatiCa works with only Revit (without Robot) as well.
I have been active in design software for more than a decade. IDEA Connection brings a fresh new approach in steel connection design which no other design software has. With their CBFEM method IDEA can design also the difficult and not so day-to-day steelconnections. With IDEA BIM you can link to other software like Robot, Advance Steel.
Impressive modeling capabilities! I struggled a little bit with the activation.
