How to activate the link
- Download and install the latest version of IDEA StatiCa
- Make sure that you are using a supported version of your FEA solution
IDEA StatiCa integrates BIM links into your FEA solutions during its installation. You can check the status and activate more BIM links for software installed after in the BIM link installer.
Please note that some FEA solutions require additional steps to fully activate their BIM link to IDEA StatiCa.
Open IDEA StatiCa and navigate to the BIM tab and open the BIM link installer (Activate your BIM link...).
A notification "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" may appear, if so, please confirm with the Yes button.
How to activate the link - RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8
The BIM link for the selected software (if found) is installed. The screen also tells you the status of other BIM links that may have already been installed. Possibly click Install to activate any BIM link.
How to activate the link - RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9
In the BIM link installer, click Install to create a shortcut icon IDEA StatiCa 2X.X for RFEM 6/IDEA StatiCa 2X.X for RSTAB 9 on your desktop.
Note: original file in path C:\Program Files\IDEA StatiCa\StatiCa 2X.X\net6.0-windows\IdeaRFEMLink.exe or IdeaRSTABLink.exe
Open RFEM 6/RSTAB 9 and navigate to the menu Options and Program options, and turn on the WebService to enable the data transfer.
How to use the link
Download the attached project, open it in RFEM/RSTAB and run the calculation to get the internal forces over the structure.
How to use the link - RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8
In the ribbon menu, navigate to Add-on modules and External Modules and IDEA StatiCa Checkbot.
How to use the link - RFEM 6 and RSTAB 9
In RFEM 6/RSTAB 9 there is no ribbon menu command. Instead, with opened RFEM 6/RSTAB 9 project, go to your desktop and run the shortcut icon IDEA StatiCa 2X.X for RFEM 6/IDEA StatiCa 2X.X for RSTAB 9.
The Checkbot app, which serves as the BIM link manager opens, and you can start a new project.
Select the New option with project type Steel and design code EN. Then select Create project.
The new Checkbot project is ready to import connections from RFEM/RSTAB.
In RFEM/RSTAB, select one of the inside columns with bracing making sure you also select the lowest node.
