IDEA StatiCa Version 23.1 brings you many new steel and concrete features. These come from customer requests and our dedication to driving innovation in structural design, while saving your time, money, and reputation!
Version 23.1 highlights
For steel, we did a lot in error-proofing and reporting – welds, load position, and detailing checks. IDEA StatiCa Member now has an input wizard and the ability to select rigid supports, dramatically speeding up your inputs and limiting errors. The fire design of connections also includes calculating the temperatures automatically.
IDEA StatiCa Connection now generates IFC files, including all bolts, welds, and materials. Structural engineers can share connection designs with detailers. Our cloud app, Connection Library, the world’s largest online database of steel connections, allows downloading and reusing connection files in the desktop app.
IDEA StatiCa Detail, our solution for the structural design of concrete walls and details, has undergone a complete user interface refactoring. New facelift of icons and ribbon, new modeling commands, better 3D scene, and more reporting options, all of which make your work much faster.
