Beamworx 2025.3.1: The Enhanced Suite for Steel Design & Fabrication Beamworx 2025.3.1 is an updated release of the integrated structural steel engineering software, focusing on the design, analysis, and detailing of steel connections and members. It streamlines the workflow from the analytical model (e.g., from SAP2000, ETABS, Robot) to fabrication-ready workshop drawings, incorporating bug fixes, performance improvements, and potentially minor feature enhancements over version 2025.3. Core Function: Bridging Analysis and Fabrication The software’s core purpose remains to automate the transition from a structural engineer’s global analysis model to the detailed 3D model required by steel detailers and fabricators. It ensures connections are designed to relevant codes and that all necessary fabrication information is generated automatically. Key Functions: Intelligent 3D Connection...

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,...
