Determining whether a connection is fixed, pinned, or somewhere in between is a crucial part of the structural design process. The decision directly impacts the accuracy of global analysis and overall design efficiency. But how can we confidently classify a connection’s rigidity?
This often-overlooked question can be addressed through Stiffness Analysis. With IDEA StatiCa Connection, you can perform detailed stiffness analyses to accurately determine whether your connection is fixed, pinned, or semi-rigid. This process ensures your designs meet both safety and performance requirements.
Ideal for Civil and Structural Engineers and professionals in the Structural Steel industry, this video explores how IDEA StatiCa simplifies stiffness analysis and empowers engineers to make better-informed design decisions.
