IDEA StatiCa Steel

A comprehensive solution for the design and analysis of steel connections and components.

  • Connection design: calculation of bolted and welded connections of any complexity.

  • Stability analysis: verification of local buckling and joint stiffness.

  • Seismic performance: specialized checks for high seismic zones.

  • Reporting: automatic generation of schedules and drawings.

IDEA StatiCa Concrete

An efficient tool for the design of reinforced concrete structures.

  • D-regions: analysis of walls, cantilevers, and frame joints with complex geometry.

  • Reinforcement: optimal reinforcement distribution and crack width calculation.

  • Section verification: full analysis according to ultimate and serviceability limit states (ULS and SLS).

Prestressing: consideration of the effects of prestressed elements on the overall structural performance.


Innovations in Structural Analysis


The IDEA StatiCa software suite represents a revolutionary advancement in civil engineering, providing engineers with tools that go far beyond traditional tabular calculations. At the heart of the program lies a unique patented Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM), which enables precise analysis of joints and connections of any geometric complexity.


Thanks to this technology, designers can evaluate the stability, stiffness, and seismic resistance of structures in just minutes tasks that previously required hours of manual effort. The software automatically generates detailed reports fully compliant with international design standards, including Eurocode and AISC. Using IDEA StatiCa not only enhances the safety of structures but also optimizes material usage, directly reducing overall construction costs.


Ecosystem and Integration (BIM & Workflows)


IDEA StatiCa seamlessly integrates into an engineer’s existing workflow. Its integration technology enables data exchange with over 40 FEA (finite element analysis) and BIM (building information modeling) software platforms.


Supported software:


BIM: Tekla Structures, Autodesk Revit, Advance Steel.
FEA: SAP2000, ETABS, Robot Structural Analysis, SCIA Engineer, RFEM.


This eliminates the need for re-modeling connections, reducing design time by up to 80%.

We invite you to experience the benefits of IDEA StatiCa firsthand. You can test the system for 14 days by downloading a fully functional free version with no restrictions on calculation tools. This is the best way to apply modern analysis methods to your current projects and see for yourself the speed and accuracy of report generation.

Users gain access to an extensive knowledge base and training materials that enable engineers to continuously enhance their skills. Training and certification include professional development programs, online courses on steel and concrete, skill verification through certification, as well as a knowledge repository containing thousands of ready-to-use examples and technical articles.



Innovations in Structural Analysis


The software suite has become an industry standard thanks to its ability to tackle challenges beyond the scope of conventional programs, as demonstrated by a portfolio of iconic projects. These include the unique The Twist Museum in Norway with its twisted steel geometry, the futuristic Museum of the Future in Dubai, the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, and the complex connections of London skyscrapers such as 10 Fenchurch Avenue and 6–8 Bishopsgate.
IDEA StatiCa’s technology has also been applied in the design of the Sea Shell Aquarium in Vietnam and railway bridges, where the precision of each connection calculation is critical for safety.
