Steel connections are among the most complex aspects of the structural design process—and often the hardest to estimate accurately in terms of cost. Having a reliable estimate of fabrication or manufacturing costs can be a powerful tool for optimizing connection geometry and making informed design decisions.
In this clip, we explore the costing functionality within IDEA StatiCa. You’ll learn how to configure your project settings to calculate local pricing dynamically as you model your connection. The video highlights how small design changes—especially those with little structural benefit—can have a significant impact on overall cost.
This content is ideal for structural engineers, steel fabricators, and professionals in the mining industry looking to streamline their workflows and maximize cost efficiency.
