IDEA StatiCa - Online Training Course | GEN Technologies
Overview
This online training course introduces participants to IDEA StatiCa - a leading structural design software for designing and code-checking steel connections, concrete D-regions, and anchoring. The program covers the full scope of the software: steel connection design from fundamentals through advanced analysis, reinforced concrete member and cross-section design, prestressed concrete structures, and import/export workflows for integration with other engineering tools.
What You Will Learn
Steel Connection Design - Fundamentals
Full workflow for creating and analyzing steel connections: defining geometry, loads, and operations; configuring members; running code-checks; and generating professional engineering reports. Working with the connection library and common operations including plates, welds, and bolts.
Advanced Steel Analysis
In-depth coverage of analysis types available in IDEA StatiCa: stability (buckling) analysis, user cross-section creation, stiffness analysis, and nonlinear analysis of buckling-sensitive members based on initial imperfections - enabling code-compliant design of complex steel structures.
Reinforced Concrete Design
Design and verification of reinforced concrete cross-sections and beams in compliance with normative standards. Understanding code-check options, analyzing beam behavior, and designing D-region elements such as concrete walls and perforated end zones.
Prestressed Concrete Structures
Applying IDEA StatiCa to prestressed concrete design including prestressed I-beams, standard prestressed beams, and hollow-core prefabricated elements. Understanding construction stages and reviewing code-compliant design and check methods per applicable standards.
BIM and CAD/CAE Integration
Exploring IDEA StatiCa's interoperability with CAD, BIM, and CAE platforms. Using import and export features to connect with third-party structural software, enabling smooth data transfer within complex multi-tool engineering workflows.
Calculation Data and Reporting
Understanding how calculation results are generated and structured within IDEA StatiCa. Creating detailed engineering reports for each analysis type, interpreting results, and preparing documentation suitable for submission, review, or client handover.
