IDEA StatiCa v24 is out now!
It’s been 10 years since the release of the CBFEM method! And since then, IDEA StatiCa has evolved into a fantastic structural engineering must-have according to many users. The latest release of IDEA StatiCa, version 24.0, continues the trend and brings significant enhancements across its suite of applications!
Here are some of the news:
Steel
VIDEO: Another wish fulfilled for the IDEA StatiCa users! Pins as a new fastener type can be used for modeling pin connections as well as help in cases where a one-bolt connection doesn't meet the Eurocode requirement.
Parametric templates is now integrated into the Connection Library to streamline design processes, allowing for efficient customization and reuse.
With this release users can now utilize pins as a new fastener type, offering added flexibility in connection modeling!
VIDEO: Auto”magic” weld-sizing!
Automatic weld sizing will help you improves modeling speed and ensure the safety of connections!
…and plenty of other new and enhanced features!
Concrete detail design, prestressing
VIDEO: IDEA StatiCa 24 features intuitive modeling with multiselect and bulk modifications, faster 3D scene, and calculation speed.
Concrete design capabilities have been enhanced to improve user experience and workflow efficiency with lots of new and improved features!
For example, the Report is now fully customizable, with theoretical background, and reordering of items.
Modeling is more intutive with access to bulk modifications, faster 3D scene and calculation speeds - and more!
IDEA StatiCa has also improved the interaction code-check in the RCS application to provide you with more accurate results when combining the action of normal force, shear force, bending, and torsional moment.
BETA features / early access
IMAGE: Concrete 3D detail (BETA!) - general footings, benefits users with fewer limits to design options, and facilitates safe and economical design, code-compliant!
Also, version 24 features (in BETA release!) the ability to design Footings and Walls using 3D model type in IDEA StatiCa Detail.
You can structurally design footings and walls loaded out of the plane and see their real behavior.
OBS: This functionality is in BETA and early access, as verifications are still ongoing, but if you are in the target group you should check it out!
BIM links, cloud tools
IMAGE: FREE version of Checkbot for engineers, detailers, EORs, and others without a commercial license of IDEA StatiCa.
IDEA StatiCa 24 offers enhanced interoperability with other applications, facilitating seamless data exchange and collaboration.
The Cloud app Viewer now displays load effects and has improved uptime and load time, which many users will appreciate!
There is also now a FREE version of Checkbot for engineers, detailers, EORs, and others without a commercial license of IDEA StatiCa. This replaces FREE CAD plugins.
Usability and Licensing
IMAGE: Here’s a nice new feature in IDEA StatiCa 24: The tooltips of specific features in IDEA StatiCa products display hyperlinks to Support Center articles. This is a reaction to frequently asked questions about how the features work and where their limits are. (click for large picture)
Usability and licensing improvements include activated keyboard shortcuts, unified preferences settings, and language support enhancements.
The User portal on IDEA StatiCa’s website has been renewed, and they also implemented the popular single sign-on for our Enterprise customers!
…and plenty more!
All these enhancements aim to enhance user experience and streamline operations.
Overall, IDEA StatiCa 24.0 represents a significant advancement in structural design software, offering new features and improvements to streamline design processes and enhance efficiency! Want the full picture? Check out the release notes!
