Release notes IDEA StatiCa Steel 20.1
Whether you are using IDEA StatiCa as a standalone app or via BIM links with FEA/CAD applications, the version 20.1 will speed up your connection design dramatically. All that with our focus to enable engineers to evaluate the requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material.
Highlights of this version are:
- Cost estimation - know how much the connection will cost, real-time in the 3D scene, based on your fabrication data.
- Pre-design - IDEA StatiCa engine proactively models parts of connections for you, speeding up the process of fine-tuning your designs to be the best of the best.
- Bulk selection of connections from Tekla, Advance Steel, Revit - no more selecting connections one-by-one in 3 steps. Just drag over 10 connections in Tekla and IDEA StatiCa exports them automatically. Some changes in Tekla? Just click "Sync all".

Whether you are using IDEA StatiCa as a standalone app or via BIM links with FEA/CAD applications, the version 20.1 will speed up your connection design dramatically. All that with our focus to enable engineers to evaluate the requirements of the national code thoroughly, and use the optimal amount of material.
If you want to know how much the connection will cost, the calculation of connection production costs is here to help you. You can very quickly estimate the final price of the created design and optimize the connection concerning that. All in real-time in the 3D scene, based on your fabrication data.
Pre-design
Using the pre-design feature, the IDEA StatiCa engine will proactively model parts of connections for you, and shorten the connection design process this way.
Please note, the feature is in its early stage and was primarily implemented for I-shaped cross-sections and only some of the most common manufacturing operations.
Bulk selection of connections from Tekla, Advance Steel, Revit
We know very well, selecting and exporting steel connections one-by-one was not for engineers the most comfortable approach. So, we decided to change that. The Code-check manager (CCM) was improved by the possibility to select multiple joints of the global model in one go.
Would you like to export 10 connections from Tekla to IDEA StatiCa? Just drag over them in Tekla and IDEA StatiCa exports them automatically. Some changes in Tekla? Just click "Sync all".
This is feature is available for both CAD and FEA applications. In CAD apps, you will find a new button while in FEA apps, this feature works by selecting multiple joints in the global model and selecting the Connection/Member button in CCM.
More improvements for Steel
Above mentioned improvements are just cherry-picked from the large list of new features brought by the new version 20.1. If you want to know them all, read the full Release notes with an overview of all the new features.
We bring another batch of new features and improvements to enhance the design of your concrete projects. No matter how complex is your concrete project, IDEA StatiCa delivers:
- Complete code-checks
- Advanced analysis types
- The unlimited topology of cross-sections and reinforcement layout
- All 2D concrete details
- Reports that get the project done
Our users currently do this through separate applications - Detail, RCS, and Beam. We are thrilled to introduce you to a brand new application in IDEA StatiCa Concrete - Member. It will unify all the design and code-checks of all reinforced concrete members in one place, integrated into your FEA software.
Besides this whole new app, you can find improvements in our code-checking engines:
- Partially loaded areas
- Fatigue check
Concrete highlights
As well as for steel, we bring you another batch of new features and improvements to enhance the design of your concrete projects.
This engineering tool is focused on realistic physics calculation, stress analytics, the behavior of prestressed bolts and plastic behavior of the welds, strain calculation for all types of connections and joints (including plates, elements, bolts, and welds), linear analysis of stability, the discovery of critical loads, determining of rotational and axial joint stiffness, joint characteristics, seismicity checks and much more.
This and much more is accessible from a streamlined interface that is regularly evolved to adapt to the needs of modern architecture, material design, and new construction techniques. For easy integration in your regular workflow, developers of IDEA StatiCa have worked tirelessly to ensure complete compatibility with all the most popular workshop drawing apps and manufacturing process designs created in apps such as Robot, Revit, MIDAS Civil + Gen, STAAD.Pro, SAP 2000, Scia Engineer, RFEM, RSTAB, AxisVM, ConSteel, and others.
