High temperatures will not burn you anymore! With the operation Fire resistance code-check, you will not only be much above the norm, but you can also analyze the fire resistance of connections and beams exposed to the thermal effects of fire. Reduce the costs by optimizing the structure's design while keeping its safety in a few clicks!
The Fire resistance code-check is not only how to optimize your model. Do you model and code-check welded or partially welded steel structures? Welds and contact operation will help you reduce the welds' size. Now you can easily save the material used for welds and labor needed for welding, thus decreasing the costs of the whole steel structure. Use this feature to make your designed connections as efficient as possible! Your models will be safe, cheaper, and easier to produce now!
Are you involved in the design of steel structures for multi-story buildings based on Eurocode? You will appreciate the new operation called Horizontal tying. This feature helps to design and code-check connections with the tensile loads required by code and prevent the progressive collapse of the structure. With the new Horizontal Tying Resistance feature, you can design and code-check connections in minutes and give your structures guaranteed stability.
IDEA StatiCa also gives you the confidence of correctly entered parameters. Do you need to make sure you are not entering welds in your model with incorrect parameters that will interfere with other members or operations? The function will automatically alert you if plates or welds collide with other model elements. Design your connections with 100% confidence!
