Design Any Connection Using Robot & IDEA StatiCa – Part 01

As the demand for more efficient and eco-friendly construction continues to grow, it’s crucial to prioritize these factors from the design phase. However, this often adds complexity to designs and requires careful material use. That’s where IDEA StatiCa comes in.

With IDEA StatiCa, you can model, analyze, and design any structural connection with ease. By integrating your Robot Structural Analysis model using IDEA StatiCa’s Checkbot, you can streamline your workflow and save valuable time.

This three-part series walks you through the complete process, starting from Robot Structural Analysis, transferring the model into Checkbot, and tackling two complex connections. In Part 1, we cover the Robot-to-Checkbot workflow and explore the key benefits of this integration.
