IDEA StatiCa Connection - Key Features of IDEA Connection
Key features of IDEA Connection include …
- Joints with various numbers of beams in multiple directions and loads
- Analysis model created according to manufacturing operations used – cuts, plates, stif feners, ribs, openings, cleats, welds, bolts etc.
- Automatic generation of joint’s FE model, user does not handle with FEA
- Stiffness analysis of any kind of connection
- Efficient FEA solver delivers result faster than current methods
- More than 90% of calculations is national-code independent
- Calculation of internal stress/forces in joints based on elastic/plastic FE analysis
- Clear information about behavior of the joint/connection
- Local buckling analysis of steel joint, critical load factor
