News for Steel
Another wish fulfilled for our users - pins as a new fastener type can be used for modeling pin connections as well as help in cases where a one-bolt connection doesn't meet the Eurocode requirement.
The integration of parametric templates into the Connection Library allows users to create and use a universal collection of templates that can be effortlessly customized and swiftly used saving time of repetitive input.
Another time cutter - automatic weld sizing and the auto-design of bolts provide faster modeling and absolutely safe design of welded and bolted connections. Discover also the set of enhanced modeling features in Connection and Member, whether it's the plate-cutting method or sliding support option.

News for Concrete and Prestressing
The revolutionary 3D Detail is here! In its released BETA version, we focused on the biggest pains among the engineering community - anchoring in reinforced concrete blocks and reinforced walls loaded out-of-plane. Moreover, the 3D concrete blocks with anchors can be modeled not only from scratch but also simply imported from the IDEA StatiCa Connection model.
But that's not all! The Detail app got many more improvements, such as multi-select with bulk modifications, faster 3D scenes, comprehensive user interface tools, etc. Its report can now be much better customized, organized, and enriched by the advanced Bill of Material.
For the advanced users and programing fans there is the new API for the RCS app. It is based on REST technology, with clients for both .Net (C#), Python and other languages and provides a user-friendly tool for the optimization and automation of concrete structural reinforced cross-section designs.
News for BIM links and cloud tools
In version 24.0 comes the free version of the ultimate BIM tool, the Checkbot. It will replace the free CAD plugins and, at the same time, offer much more functionality to become a true hub for processing data from various software and sharing between everybody involved in a project. We have also tuned the import data stream so that Checkbot is now able to read data quickly and deal with massive projects without slowing down.
The free online Viewer has been revamped and upgraded with high-quality servers for much faster and reliable interaction. We now offer display of the load effects on the connection model and generation of 3D DWG, IFC, and Connection files run in the background, freeing your hands in browsing your models.
Usability and Licensing
We have activated the keyboard shortcuts and united the general settings in our apps, so that the preferences are shared across all of the you use. We also added Portuguese (BR) language. The User portal on our website has been renewed, and we also implemented the popular single sign-on for our Enterprise customers.
