IDEA StatiCa 21 is an engineering software devoted to structural design and code-checking of connections, cross-sections, beams, and other details. It can be downloaded for free as a standalone offline installation for Windows PC.
MSC Nastran – Multidisciplinary Structural Analysis is also available for FREE download.
Summary of Benefits of IDEA Statute 21
Being the first and only program to integrate the innovative CBFEM approach, which is based on finite element analysis and permits the code-checking of steel connections of ANY geometry and loading, IDEA StatiCa 9 has completely changed the engineering world. For every component in the joint, including the plates, bolts, and welds, the software does a non-linear plastic analysis. It provides support for certain contact elements between the plates, anchoring, and pre-stressed bolts.
All topologies’ anchoring or footing, 2D or 3D joints, and welded or bolted connections are designed and verified by IDEA StatiCa Connection. We offer comprehensive reports with drawings that include clear pass/fail checks in accordance with EC, AISC, and CISC standards.
All kinds of walls, beams, and details—such as dapped ends, apertures, hangings, brackets, diaphragms, frame joints, and many more—are reinforced and inspected using IDEA StatiCa Detail in two dimensions.
Build your project from the ground up or utilize pre-existing geometry and loading from sources like as Robot, Revit, MIDAS Civil + Gen, STAAD.Pro, SAP 2000, Scia Engineer, RFEM, RSTAB, AxisVM, ConSteel, etc. Utilize the connection that exists between Tekla Structures and Advance Steel or IDEA StatiCa to supply workshop drawings and aid with the manufacturing process.
