Steel Connection Design employs advanced Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM) analysis to ensure precise and compliant steel connection designs. Engineers can optimise connections for efficiency and performance as well as integrate seamlessly with BIM platforms for enhanced collaboration. The software generates detailed reports and documentation, supporting rigorous analysis and facilitating safe, efficient structural solutions.
Achieve rapid pass/fail checks aligned with South African codes in minutes. IDEA StatiCa significantly reduces connection design time by up to 80%, offering:
Create steel connections of any type or complexity effortlessly. Begin from scratch or import connections directly from your CAD or FEA software. Apply both simple and complex loads, visualise the behaviour, and produce detailed sketches and reports. Connection types include:
As per the Steel Construction Cost joint publication by the SCI, BCSA, and TATA Steel, fabrication and raw material costs account for approximately 60-80% of the final product’s cost. IDEA StatiCa for steel connection design aids in significantly reducing these expenses by:
Achieve the power of precise engineering with IDEA StatiCa. Design smarter, stronger, and more efficient steel connections for your projects
IDEA StatiCa allows for the design of a wide range of steel connections, including:
Yes, IDEA StatiCa supports the import of connection designs directly from various CAD and FEA software. This integration enables a seamless workflow, allowing engineers to start from scratch or build upon existing designs, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in connection modelling and analysis.
IDEA StatiCa helps in reducing overdesigned connections by providing precise and optimised design solutions. The software performs detailed analysis, considering all relevant factors such as load combinations, material properties, and structural geometry. This ensures that connections are neither under nor overdesigned, leading to cost-effective and efficient designs that meet safety standards.
With IDEA StatiCa, you can generate comprehensive and detailed reports that include:
IDEA StatiCa contributes to sustainable construction practices by enabling the design of efficiently engineered connections that minimise material usage and waste. By optimising the design and reducing the number of overdesigned connections, the software helps decrease carbon consumption during fabrication. This not only lowers costs but also supports environmentally friendly construction by reducing the overall carbon footprint of steel structures.
