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.

BECOME AN EXPERT ON STEEL CONNECTIONS

Learn how to use IDEA StatiCa efficiently with our comprehensive online course

IDEA StatiCa Steel Essentials Course

The IDEA StatiCa Steel Training aims to provide an overall understanding of the basic principles and rationale behind the software. The course also answer the question of how IDEA StatiCa Steel can be used in everyday engineering practice.
 
The practical application of the software will be demonstrated throughout the sessions through worked examples built from scratch for common connection types. Moreover, there will be a balanced presentation of the underlying theoretical concepts.

 

In addition, some of the BIM links to global analysis software and CAD applications will be demonstrated. This is to show the full potential of the software as part of a modern structural analysis/ steel fabrication workflow.

Who can join

This training is suitable for:
 
– Structural engineers involved in steel connection design
– Steel fabricators and detailers working with connection detailing
– Engineering professionals looking to improve efficiency beyond spreadsheets
– New users who want to get started with IDEA StatiCa
– Existing users who want to deepen their knowledge and refine their workflows
– Teams looking to standardise and improve their connection design processes
 
If your work involves designing, checking, or detailing steel connections, this training will be highly relevant to you.

Learning Outcomes: 

  1. A basic introduction to the CBFEM principles (materially non-linear stress-strain analysis)
  2. Effective use of manufacturing operations
  3. Result Interpretation
  4. Buckling analysis (linear eigenvalue bifurcation analysis)
  5. Joint resistance analysis (finding the ultimate strength of a connection)
  6. Stiffness analysis (determination and classification acc. to the code)
  7. Horizontal tying
  8. Publish and reuse connection designs
  9. BIM links and IFC export
