SCIA Engineer to IDEA StatiCa workflow for steel structures

You can select any number of steel connections and members in SCIA Engineer and export them to IDEA StatiCa for structural design and code-checking so you can model, design, load, and check steel connections of any topology and loading. All beams, cross-sections, and internal forces are also completely synchronized if the SCIA Engineer model changes. IDEA StatiCa and SCIA Engineer give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.

The BIM link is managed by IDEA StatiCa Checkbot - an application for the management of BIM workflows. This means for you:

Export and synchronize connections and members easily
Complete control over all of your imported connections and members
A clear list of all imported items including status checked/not-checked
3D visualization of imported members and loads
Conversion table for materials and cross-sections
Load combinations management
