No matter how complex your concrete project is, with various IDEA StatiCa applications you can do the complete code-checks, advanced analysis types, design cross-sections with no limits in topology and reinforcement layout, model any kind of 2D concrete details, and all that crowned by complex reports.
Frankly speaking, there is also an issue linked to that. All the above-mentioned tasks have to be currently done through three separate applications - Detail, RCS, and Beam. This is followed closely by complicated inputs and an outdated user interface.
So, we are thrilled to introduce you to a brand new application in IDEA StatiCa Concrete - Member. Currently available as a BETA application, the ultimate goal for the future is to unify all the design and code-checks of all reinforced concrete members in one place, integrated into your CAD/FEA software.
Reasons why to consider Concrete Member
As mentioned above, the Concrete Member is available in the BETA version. Nevertheless, the ambitions of the applications are pretty high. This application should in the future unify various IDEA StatiCa apps. As the market requires, it should be built on fast BIM links with FEA and CAD software accompanied by simple and intuitive data input. And obviously, as the core of any IDEA StatiCa software lays in checks, Concrete Member will be providing highly advanced analysis of 2D and 3D models using the progressive CSFM method.
Of course, we are not there yet for sure. So, the forthcoming question is obvious:
What is it good for (so far)?
With the Concrete Member application, you are able to model, reinforce, and code-check a critical concrete member in minutes. Just like other IDEA StatiCa Concrete applications, Member provides code-checks according to Eurocode.
The main product benefits and use cases were introduced on Oct 7, 2020, on the product launch webinar for IDEA StatiCa version 20.1.
