Easy and comfortable import of structural members using Wizard
Some of widespread 3D FEA packages do not contain their own module for prestressing and construction stages or their solution is weak and does not cover the needs of the users. Due to the absence or unreliability of the links between those programs and the design tools (an independent programs or excel sheets), the workflow is interrupted and manual data transfer is needed at the interfaces. This system is ineffective and highly vulnerable. Significant improvement in completeness of tools for the workflow above is a reliable and seamless link between those programs and IDEA StatiCa Beam.
Types of structures: prestressed/reinforced (non-prestressed) concrete roof and floor girders, prefabricated or cast-in-situ beams (bridge or floor) with composite cast-in-place slab, design strips of PT slabs.

Direct links to the IDEA StatiCa Beam program are currently available from Autodesk Robot, SAP 2000, RFEM, and AxisVM.
The step-by-step specialized wizard allows defining structural member type and setting all necessary data for transfer of geometry, cross-sections, materials, and 3D internal forces from selected loadcases. Additional data such as loads, construction stages, prestressing parameters for time dependent analysis (TDA) can be defined, and code assessment can be performed in IDEA StatiCa.
