While the Connection app is celebrated for its unique solution for designing and code-checking complex connections thanks to the unique CBFEM technology, many engineering offices tend to use old-fashioned Excel-based workflows to handle standard connections.

Watch the webinar and learn about

$Why Excel-based design is not economical$
$Why Excel spreadsheets are not flexible$
$Why Excel design sheets can be dangerous$
$Why workflows with Excel are laborious$
$How IDEA StatiCa solves all these problems$

Speakers

In this webinar, we will discuss the workflows for standard connections . IDEA StatiCa has focused its development on making the design of standard connections supereffective. Sign in and watch how to make your work easier!

So how does IDEA StatiCa replace the good old ways? It's the combination of the Checkbot app for managing the nodes, parametric input and ready-to-use Parametric templates in Connection Library for instant design, bulk generation of reports including sketches, and export of IFC files for CAD drawings.

Should you prefer, you can also read a blog on the same topic - Don't let standard connection design slow you down .

Excel is great, but...

Excel sheets can be very effective, but there are multiple risks and limitations. What if your Excel spreadsheet is programmed for 4 rows of bolts and you design 6 of them? Is using envelope forces still economical? Is the report full and understandable for everybody involved in the project?

All these questions will be answered during the broadcast. We will also demonstrate live how the fast, safe, and trouble-free workflow for standard connections looks like with IDEA StatiCa software

$Preprocessing with IDEA StatiCa Checkbot$
$Easy input of design using the parametric templates$
$Bulk report for all connections including sketches$
$Export of IFC models usable in CAD$
