Steel connections and members
IDEA StatiCa is a steel connection design software for all types of welded and bolted connections, base plates, footings, and anchoring. It also enables you to solve buckling and stability of steel members.
- Intuitive design of simple and even highly complex connections
- Pass/fail results for any connection, based on AISC, Eurocode, etc.
- 250 ready-made templates, 10,000+ configurations
- Easy application of any required loading to the project
- Complete report including stiffness, seismicity and buckling
We solve your connections
Watch how IDEA StatiCa transforms one of the biggest pains of steel design into a practical solution for your daily work. No matter the complexity of geometry or loading, you can design and code-check whatever connections and joints your project requires. And get a comprehensive report which will prove it to everybody else. This is a connection design tool every structural engineer and detailer deserves to have.

}Unique method and engine
IDEA StatiCa was the first one to combine the traditional Component method (i.e equations) with FEM analysis. Together with universities, we have created a method called CBFEM, tested it thoroughly, and enabled its usage in a beautiful engineering application.
Proven, reliable calculations
We work closely with numerous universities to test and verify IDEA StatiCa results. No matter the geometry, your designs are complete, accurate, and in accordance with AISC, Eurocode, and other design codes.
BECOME A CERTIFIED CONNECTION DESIGN PROFESSIONAL
Our e-learning course will help you to master analysis, design, and code-check of steel connections. Finish the course and get a certificate that will distinguish you in the marketplace and increase the value of your work.
1 of 1
We have used IDEA StatiCa on 6-10 different projects already. One project called Crabapple Market was six buildings, all part of a complex. Another company had the other eight buildings at the complex, and after the initial round of RFI’s and comments from the EOR, they chose to use us on any revisions and changes because of our calculation package (IDEA StatiCa) was superior to the other company.
