IDEA StatiCa v26.0.5.1427

IDEA StatiCa is a professional engineering software package for the calculation and verification of assemblies, parts and elements of building structures, especially where conventional "rod" calculations are no longer sufficient.

In classical calculation programs (SCAD, LIRA, SAP2000, ETABS, ...), the structure is modeled with bars and shells, and the real nodes are usually simplified, calculated manually, or accepted "by experience".

IDEA StatiCa solves this problem by performing a non-linear analysis of a real 3D node or part, taking into account: steel ductility, concrete cracking, anchors, bolts, welding, steel-concrete interaction.


MODULES

IDEA StatiCa Connection is a program for the calculation of steel assemblies of any configuration using the Finite Element Method (CMFEM).
IDEA StatiCa Steel is a software for the design and calculation of all types of welded and bolted joints, foundation slabs, supports and anchor fasteners. The program allows you to solve the problem of bending and stability of steel elements.
IDEA StatiCa Concrete is a software package for the analysis of all types of reinforced concrete cross-sections, beams, wall panels, diaphragms, joints and other reinforced concrete structures.
IDEA StatiCa Prestressing is a program for the analysis and design of joints and joints of prestressed reinforced concrete structures.
IDEA StatiCa for bridge analysis - Specialists around the world use IDEA StatiCa to design small and medium-span bridges made of conventional and prestressed concrete.

Key features in IDEA StatiCa v26:

1. Full workflow for steel-to-concrete anchoring

The main update of version 26 is a major development of the calculation of anchors and embedded parts.

What they added:

synchronization between the Connection and Detail applications;
support for cast-in plates;
checking anchors in reinforced concrete;
work with pre-installed and post-installed anchors;
Settlements according to Eurocode, AISC and SCI.

Now you can:
to simulate real steel-concrete units;
Automatically transfer geometry, loads, and materials between modules
Update existing Detail models without re-entering data.

2. ML Prediction Utilization in Connection

An AI/ML mechanism for instant prediction of the connection utilization factor has appeared.

In case of change:

plate thickness;
location of bolts;
node geometry.

The program immediately shows the expected utilization without a full CBFEM calculation. This greatly speeds up iterations when selecting connections.

3. New scene engine in Checkbot

Checkbot has completely updated the 3D engine.

Improvements:

stable operation with large models (1000+ nodes);
quick navigation;
Added multi-section tool;
the option of selecting the transparency of objects has been modernized;
More convenient project management.

You can also now:

work with steel and concrete in the same Checkbot project;
make cloud sharing of projects through Viewer.

4. AASHTO Support in Detail

For infrastructure projects, support has been added:

AASHTO codes;
bridges;
box culverts;
complex details of the foundation.

This is especially important for the United States and infrastructure projects.

5. New Section Module (BETA)

Version 26 has a new module - IDEA StatiCa Section.

Key features:

FEM analysis of RC cross-sections;
preparation for the new Eurocode 2027;
transparent display of formulas and calculations;
Comparison of current and future regulations.

6. AI/API and automation

Improved:

Connection API;
AI-based automation;
ML-templates;
integration with BIM/FEA.

We also added new BIM integrations, including:

MIDAS GEN NX;
Grasshopper workflow updates.
