Features
Everything from simple shear tabs to impossible nodes
One environment for steel connections, reinforced concrete, and anchoring, all checked to the latest standards.
Bulk-checking
Check hundreds of similar connections at once instead of one joint at a time.
Visual modeling for complex joints
Model moderate and complex connections visually, including nodes with more than three bars.
Connection Library
Draw on 1M+ real-world joints to adapt proven designs instead of starting from zero.
Concrete walls and D-regions
Design walls and D-regions of any shape and load, including openings and dapped ends, and optimize reinforcement layout and material usage.
Code-checked reports
Full ULS and SLS checks in one report, ready for approval in three clicks, per AISC, ACI, and other national standards.

Process
From analysis model to approved connection
Start fast and see the difference within weeks.
Import your model
Pull geometry and loads directly from tools like RISA-3D, STAAD.Pro, SAP2000, or ETABS via BIM links. No retyping, no remodeling.
Design and check with CBFEM
The patented Component Based Finite Element Method combines FEM accuracy with component-based logic to check real connection behavior, including prying effects on bolts.
Optimize and report
Adjust the design, review detailed visual results, and issue a code-checked report covering ULS and SLS in three clicks.
Results
What engineers say about the results
“It saved me a lot of time and work.”
“The software allows stress analysis of very complex connections.”

FAQ
Licensing questions, answered
How does IDEA StatiCa licensing work?+
Licenses are online and account-based. We create a cloud license server for each customer, and you access the license from any device with your email credentials. Standard licenses allow up to 7 users per license product; enterprise licenses are unlimited.
Is there a single or network configuration?+
No. All licenses consist of floating seats. You can switch devices, return the license to the pool, share it with colleagues, and work from the office, home, or on the road.
What is the difference between a subscription and a perpetual license?+
The perpetual license is a time-unlimited entitlement, but maintenance must be purchased on top and renewed annually to receive new versions and technical support. The subscription license is time-limited and automatically includes maintenance. Subscriptions are easy to extend and let you add seats as your needs grow.
How does maintenance work?+
Maintenance gives you two things: technical issues solved by our in-house specialists, and access to the current version of IDEA StatiCa. There are two major product releases plus minor updates per year. Maintenance is automatically included in all subscription licenses but must be purchased separately for perpetual licenses. If you have an older license without maintenance, you need to purchase an upgrade to the current version before buying maintenance for the next period.
Is the license country-limited?+
Yes. Standard licenses can only be used in the country specified at purchase, usually tied to the billing address. Multinational usage is only available with the Enterprise license.
What do the displayed prices cover?+
Prices shown are the range across all available products for one floating seat license. Subscription prices are displayed for the 12-month option, and more subscription periods are available via quote request.
