IDEA StatiCa 25.1.2: The Global Standard for Structural Connection Design IDEA StatiCa 25.1.2 is a world-leading, BIM-integrated software solution dedicated to the design, analysis, and code-checking of structural connections in both steel and reinforced concrete. It employs the Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM), a unique approach that combines the accuracy of finite element analysis with the speed and code-compliance of component methods, making it the preferred tool for structural engineers, detailers, and fabricators worldwide. Core Function: Accurate, Code-Compliant Connection Verification Its primary function is to transform a connection concept into a fully verified, code-compliant design. Users model the connection geometry, and the software performs a comprehensive analysis—checking stresses, deformations, welds, bolts, plates, and concrete—against major international standards like AISC 360,...
