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.

Concrete & Prestressing made simple

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40″][vc_column_text]

IDEA StatiCa Concrete is a user-friendly design tool used by engineers dealing with members/details of concrete structures. Design is based on internal forces created either in IDEA StatiCa or imported from FEA programs like Midas, Axis VM, SCIA Engineer and others.

IDEA StatiCa Concrete & Prestressing enables an effective design of all reinforced concrete, prestressed and composite members, cross-sections and details.
Structural checks comply with both Ultimate and Serviceability limit state requirements, including deflection check considering cracking. Structural analysis of precast members and bridges is performed as a time-dependent analysis with respect to construction stages.

Structural analysis and design of concrete and prestressed structures is a challenging task – both because of the natural complexity of the subject , but also of all the regulations that an engineer has to comply with, to get the project done. As a result, engineers constantly try to catch up with the complexity and insane size of related documentation. Developing software for structural analysis and design is our way to help engineers work fast, better and comply with this swelling regulation.
