A decade ago, IDEA StatiCa revolutionized steel connection design. Today, we’re setting a new standard in concrete anchoring with our groundbreaking 24.1 version release!
The new IDEA StatiCa 24.1, is now available to support you in tackling everyday structural engineering challenges. Whether youβre focused on steel connections, precast designs, or complex concrete anchoring, this release equips you with essential tools to boost project accuracy and speed.
Version 24.1 highlights
Save hours on standard steel connections
Say goodbye to repetitive tasks like recreating similar connections across projects. IDEA StatiCa 24.1 offers over 50 ready-made parametric templates for common steel connections, streamlining setup time. You can also create custom templates, eliminating reliance on Excel templates and manual calculations. Additionally, if youβre working with junior engineers, you can lock or restrict certain parameters within templates, allowing for safe, hands-on learning.

Ensure beam stability at all construction stages
IDEA StatiCa 24.1 now includes Lateral Torsional Buckling (LTB) analysis directly in the Beam app, covering all beam construction stages from lifting to service life.

With integrated LTB analysis and SLS checks for crack width and deflection, you can ensure safety and compliance across the projectβs lifespan, reducing dependency on external tools, minimizing errors, and speeding up approvals. Precast designs now run faster and more reliably, with templates for reinforced and prestressed beams and automated national annex checks.
Handle 3D anchoring design and shear transfer
IDEA StatiCa 24.1, now verified and out of Beta, provides a robust 3D anchoring tool for complex scenarios, including designs near concrete edges or for shear transfer. Start from scratch or import a baseplate design directly from the Connection app. Handle shear transfer through anchors, shear lugs, and friction within a single application. Section views of concrete and reinforcement offer deeper insights, reducing guesswork and optimizing material use.

With integrated LTB analysis and SLS checks for crack width and deflection, you can ensure safety and compliance across the projectβs lifespan, reducing dependency on external tools, minimizing errors, and speeding up approvals. Precast designs now run faster and more reliably, with templates for reinforced and prestressed beams and automated national annex checks.
Accelerated performance and enhanced usability
With significant performance improvements, the Connection app now opens up to 60% faster, and Checkbot can handle projects with up to 1,000 nodes in seconds. Memory usage is optimized, and the new multiselect/multiedit feature allows for editing multiple elements, like weld sizes or material properties, simultaneously.

Precast designs now run faster and more reliably, with templates for reinforced and prestressed beams and automated national annex checks.
Online Viewer enhacements
The Viewer now supports model sharing and link management for better collaboration. You can also access the Connection Library directly from Viewer to explore a collection of over 700,000 real-life connection designs.
