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.
Have you found yourself facing a common challenge in structural design – an error related to bolt proximity to the beam edge? This often arises when connecting a beam with an end-plate to two cranked beams. In such cases, precise...
