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.
Learning Outcomes:
A basic introduction to the CBFEM principles (materially non-linear stress-strain analysis)
