BIM link activation for SAP2000 (v22 and older)
How to use IDEA StatiCa Checkbot
Download the attached project, open it in SAP2000, and run the calculation to get the internal forces over the structure.
The BIM link is already integrated. It is in the top ribbon under Tools -> IDEA StatiCa Checkbot.
After that, you will see an informative notification from SAP2000, accept it by clicking OK.
Consequently, Checkbot application will be started.
Select the New option with project type Steel and design code EN. Then select Create project.
The new Checkbot project is ready to import members from SAP2000.
In SAP2000, select one of the inside members, as shown in the picture.
