About IDEA StatiCa

We develop software for structural engineers and detailers. Our development team researches, tests, and applies new methods of analyzing the behaviour of structures and their members. Based on this, we created IDEA StatiCa – software that enables engineers to work faster, evaluate requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material. For us, creating software is a way to contribute to making every new construction around the world safer and cheaper.

Connection Wednesdays – Master gusset plates with IDEA StatiCa

In this webinar, we explored the latest advancements in IDEA StatiCa Steel, focusing on gusset plates and demonstrating how to harness the powerful features of Checkbot, including connection grouping, to streamline workflows between global analysis models and connection design.
During the webinar, we showcased the newest tools in the IDEA StatiCa Steel toolbox for designing connections in a small steel frame. Starting with a global analysis model, we demonstrated seamless data export into Checkbot, preserving geometry, cross-sections, and critical results to enhance collaboration with project stakeholders.

 

A key highlight was the introduction of the new connection grouping functionality, which simplifies defining and verifying groups of connections in IDEA StatiCa Connection. We also explored gusset plates, discussing the options available in IDEA StatiCa Connection and IDEA StatiCa Member to address buckling issues with precision and confidence.

 

The webinar concluded with best practices for tool selection and efficient workflows, including tips on reusing connection definitions in Checkbot to avoid redundant work. It was a valuable session for improving design processes and collaboration!

 

Topics covered:
– Automatic identification and grouping of connections
– Efficient design and definition of grouped connections
– Utilization of connection library templates
– Advanced assessment of gusset buckling behaviour in IDEA StatiCa Member
