The FEA model was created in SCIA Engineer and the CAD model in Tekla Structures. Model Coordinator in IDEA StatiCa Checkbot matched members between the two models and transferred the internal forces to the connections, which were then designed and checked in IDEA StatiCa Connection.
To learn how to combine the FEA and CAD models step by step (import, alignment, member mapping, and merging connections), see the article Model Coordinator: Combine FEA and CAD models.
