IDEA StatiCa is a structural engineering software solution developed for the design and code-based verification of steel connections, reinforced concrete sections, beams, anchoring systems, and other structural components. It provides engineers with calculation tools for evaluating structural behavior, checking design requirements, and preparing detailed engineering reports.
The 26.1 release introduces a broader anchoring workflow, a dedicated Stability application, improved coordination between CAD and FEA models, reinforced concrete section design for the next generation of Eurocodes, and expanded automation through the Connection API. These additions help reduce repetitive engineering tasks while supporting more complex structural design and verification workflows.
Software Overview
IDEA StatiCa 26.1 provides an integrated environment for structural analysis and design verification, with particular emphasis on steel connections and reinforced concrete details. Engineers can assess connection behavior, investigate structural stability, model anchoring systems, and verify components against applicable design standards.
The software also supports interoperability with widely used structural analysis, BIM, and CAD applications. Models and engineering data can be transferred from supported platforms, helping teams maintain continuity between structural analysis, connection design, detailing, and documentation.
Key Features
- Steel Connection Design: Model, calculate, and verify complex steel connections using detailed analysis workflows.
- Anchoring Design: Support steel-to-concrete connection design, including base plates, post-installed anchors, cast-in plates, and reinforced concrete details.
- Reinforced Concrete Analysis: Evaluate reinforced concrete sections and structural details using advanced calculation methods.
- Structural Stability Analysis: Investigate buckling behavior and stability-sensitive structures through linear and nonlinear analysis.
- CAD and FEA Coordination: Connect analytical structural models with detailing models to support more efficient connection design.
- BIM Interoperability: Work with structural models from supported engineering and design applications.
- Parametric Design: Use connection templates and Grasshopper integration to develop reusable and automated connection models.
- Engineering Reports: Generate calculation documentation, drawings, and clear pass/fail verification results.
- Connection API: Automate connection creation, modification, calculation, and evaluation through programmatic workflows.
- Design Code Support: Apply supported national standards and Eurocode provisions when checking structural components.
Complete Anchoring Design Workflow
IDEA StatiCa 26.1 expands its anchoring capabilities to cover a wider range of steel-to-concrete interfaces. The workflow includes conventional base plates, post-installed anchors, cast-in plates, and more complex reinforced concrete details.
Improvements in IDEA StatiCa Detail 3D make reinforcement modeling more flexible through reinforcement templates and support for complex geometries. Engineers can use 3D CSFM to analyze interactions between anchors, reinforcement, and concrete. Together with capabilities introduced in version 26.0, these developments provide a more consistent workflow between IDEA StatiCa Connection and Detail.
New Stability Application
The new IDEA StatiCa Stability application addresses structural stability problems that are difficult to evaluate using estimated buckling lengths or simplified boundary conditions. Engineers can model the surrounding structure, account for actual connection stiffness, and investigate member behavior under more representative structural conditions.
Available analysis methods include Linear Buckling Analysis (LBA) and Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis with Imperfections (GMNIA). These capabilities are particularly relevant to slender steel members, trusses, frames, and existing structures where stability assumptions can significantly affect design decisions.
Model Coordinator for CAD and FEA Models
Model Coordinator (BETA), introduced within IDEA StatiCa Checkbot, connects analytical FEA models with corresponding CAD detailing models. Engineers can import both representations of a structure, allowing the software to automatically match corresponding members and transfer internal forces from the analytical model to the detailing model.
This reduces the need to transfer loads manually or recreate model geometry when preparing connection designs. The functionality complements existing Checkbot workflows for managing multiple connections, generating reports, and sharing projects.
IDEA StatiCa Section (BETA) for New Eurocodes
The new IDEA StatiCa Section (BETA) application introduces reinforced concrete design checks intended for the second generation of Eurocodes, including serviceability and fire resistance assessments.
One important capability is advanced thermal analysis of reinforced concrete cross-sections. Engineers can calculate temperature distribution within a section, determine temperature-dependent material properties, and evaluate resistance under fire conditions. This provides a more detailed assessment of non-standard cross-sections and existing structures.
Expanded Connection API Automation
Version 26.1 extends the IDEA StatiCa Connection API to support programmatic creation, modification, calculation, and evaluation of steel connections. The API now includes connection assembly and manufacturing operations such as plates, cuts, bolts, and welds.
Engineers and developers can use these capabilities to build complete connections without opening the desktop application. This supports automated design iterations, large-scale connection checking, and integration with company-specific engineering processes.
Additional Design and Interoperability Improvements
The release also includes updates across steel and concrete design, BIM workflows, parametric modeling, and regional standards:
- Second-generation Eurocodes: IDEA StatiCa Connection introduces checks according to EN 1993-1-8:2024, supporting preparation for the transition to the updated standard and comparison between code editions.
- BIM interoperability: Faster imports from Autodesk Robot and improved integration with RFEM/RSTAB, SCIA Engineer, and MIDAS workflows help reduce structural model transfer effort.
- Parametric design: Updated connection templates and Grasshopper integration support reusable connection models and more automated design processes.
- Regional standards: Additional national annexes and code updates extend support for engineering practices in different markets.
IDEA StatiCa is designed for structural engineers, fabricators, consultants, and other professionals involved in structural analysis and design verification. Its tools support the evaluation of steel connections, anchoring systems, reinforced concrete components, and structural details in modern steel and concrete structures.
The software can be integrated into workflows involving applications such as Robot, Revit, MIDAS Civil, MIDAS Gen, STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, SCIA Engineer, RFEM, RSTAB, AxisVM, and ConSteel. This interoperability helps engineering teams use existing structural models as a starting point for detailed connection checks and design documentation.
By combining structural calculation methods with model coordination and automation, IDEA StatiCa helps engineers assess design requirements, evaluate structural behavior, and work toward efficient material use and reliable construction details.
