IDEA StatiCa

Structural connection design - checked, not assumed

IDEA StatiCa is a structural engineering software used for:

• Steel connection design
• Concrete connection design
• Base plates
• Anchors
• Bolted & welded joints
• Node-level verification

It helps engineers check real joint behaviour, not just member forces.

Instead of guessing safety with thumb rules,
IDEA StatiCa shows whether the connection itself is safe.

The real problem engineers face

Most design offices today:

• Design members in analysis software
• But design connections manually
• Or copy old standard details
• Or depend on fabricator drawings
• Or overdesign to be safe

This creates:

• Risk
• Uncertainty
• Heavy sections
• Approval delays
• Client questions
• Fabrication mistakes

IDEA StatiCa exists to solve this exact gap.

What IDEA StatiCa actually does

It allows you to:

✔ Model real steel or concrete connections
✔ Apply forces from analysis software
✔ Check bolts, plates, welds, anchors
✔ See stress distribution visually
✔ Generate proper calculation report
✔ Produce connection drawings

It turns connection design into a controlled engineering process.

Where it fits in your workflow

You continue to use:

• STAAD
• ETABS
• SAP2000
• SAFE
• Tekla
• Other analysis software

IDEA StatiCa is used after analysis
- only for the connection part.

So:
Analysis → Forces → IDEA StatiCa → Safe connection

Not a replacement.
A complement.

Who needs IDEA StatiCa most?

It is ideal for:

• Structural design consultants
• PEB designers
• Industrial shed designers
• Infrastructure engineers
• Bridge designers
• Plant structure designers
• EPC companies
• Fabrication consultants

If you design steel or concrete connections, this applies to you.

What kind of connections can be designed?

IDEA StatiCa can handle:

• Beam-to-column connections
• Column bases
• Truss joints
• Bracing joints
• Moment connections
• Shear connections
• Concrete-to-steel joints
• Anchor and base plate design

These are the places where failures usually start.

Why manual methods are no longer enough

Manual spreadsheets and charts:

• Assume uniform stress
• Ignore local effects
• Cannot show stress flow
• Are hard to verify
• Are risky under audit
• Difficult to explain to client

IDEA StatiCa uses advanced calculation methods to show:

✔ Stress in plates
✔ Stress in bolts
✔ Stress in welds
✔ Stress in concrete
✔ Utilisation level

You can see what is happening.

What you gain as an engineer

✔ Higher confidence in design
✔ Clear justification to client
✔ Faster approvals
✔ Better fabrication drawings
✔ Lower risk of rework
✔ Professional reports
✔ Modern workflow

Not just faster - safer.

Which module do you actually need?

IDEA StatiCa comes in different modules:

• Steel connections
• Concrete connections
• Anchoring
• Checkbot (for force import)

We do NOT push all modules.

We:
✔ Understand your project type
✔ See what connections you design
✔ Suggest only required modules
✔ Arrange trial
✔ Demonstrate typical case
✔ Then recommend license

Right tool, not biggest tool.

Typical doubts engineers have

“Will it match Indian codes?”
✔ Supports IS codes (and others)

“Will it work with my analysis software?”
✔ Yes, via import tools

“Is it too advanced?”
✔ Interface is engineering-oriented

“Is it worth the cost?”
✔ If you design connections regularly, yes

How we work

• You explain your type of projects
• We check what connections you design
• We suggest suitable module
• We arrange trial
• We show one real example
• You evaluate
• We supply genuine license + support

No pressure.
No confusion.
No wrong module.

Why buy IDEA StatiCa from KAP Solution?

Because connection software is not generic CAD.

We provide:
✔ Correct module selection
✔ Trial & demo
✔ Engineering-oriented guidance
✔ License support
✔ Long-term association

We help you use it properly, not just buy it.

Not sure if you need IDEA StatiCa?
