Steel connection design – reinvented
Design and check all structural steel joints according to the code in minutes
IDEA StatiCa FOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERINGDevelopment team with 20 years of experience of making innovative software for structural engineers in more than40 countries.
2
Engineering software dedicated to structural design and code-check of joints, cross sections, beams and other details.
Thousands of licenses around the world
Software results validated by universities
Linked to major CAE/CADprograms

CAE PROGRAMS
Focus on the model of the whole structure.
5
STRUCTURAL DEFECTS
The majority of defects is caused by bad design of a particular joint or other detail.
Waste of time
Waste of material

Graham Aldwinckle,Associate Director – ARUP London
„10 years ago, we had to go through a quite complex way, which involved Nastran analysis and other custom weldchecks. What we’ve got out of IDEA StatiCa is a muchquicker, simpler way to analyze a node like that.“

Stress-strain Buckling analysis Stiffness analysis Overall check
ELECTRICITY TOWER MAST, POLAND
Huge normal force loads the group of bolts eccentrically. Bolts cannot take this.
Rearranging of bolts solved the problem.

Stress-strain Buckling analysis Stiffness analysis Overall check
STEEL WAREHOUSE, GERMANY
Connection fully satisfies all stress/strain checks
But the web of the beam can collapse because of local buckling
Additional stiffener resolved this problem

Stress-strain Buckling analysis Stiffness analysis Overall check
POWER PLANT, CZECH REPUBLIC
Ovalization of CHS. Stiffness perpendicular to CHS is lower.
All CHS are welded to one plate. Stiffness is 10x higher.

Connection was not designable with the suggested prescribed EC3 requirements and a more generic analysis approach had to be adopted.

„Simple, visual and the power of FEA. The biggest advantage is its ease of use. There are other similar programs, but not one like IDEA. This is why we chose IDEA StatiCa. “

COMPONENT BASED FINITE ELEMENT MODEL (CBFEM)The weak point of standard Component method Design guides is that the topology is limited.

We recalculated standard connections from design guides, with the same results.
29
Complex FEA models were compared with IDEA StatiCa. Same results.
