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!
