}There are some additional manual steps required in ETABS to finish the integration procedure:
Start ETABS and click Tools > Add/Show Plugins to open the Plugin Manager dialog. This option lets you install add-ins (programs) to the appropriate places in the ETABS menu.

Browse for:
C:\Program Files\IDEA StatiCa\StatiCa 24.1\net48\IdeaETABSv1PluginWrapper.dll
(for older versions of IDEA Statica C:\Program Files\IDEA StatiCa\StatiCa 23.0\IdeaETABSv1PluginWrapper.dll
or C:\Program Files\IDEA StatiCa\StatiCa 22.1\ETABSv18PlugIn_IDEAStatiCa.dll).
You can edit the Plugin's name displayed in your dropdown menu as IDEA StatiCa Checkbot, then click Add.

Remark
In case the window with the IDEA StatiCa Checkbot doesn't appear, please go to C:\Program Files\Computers and Structures\ETABS 22 and run as Administrator the file RegisterETABS.exe.

How to use the link
Download the attached project, open it in ETABS, and run the calculation to get the internal forces over the structure.
The BIM link is already integrated. It is in the top ribbon under Tools -> IDEA StatiCa Checkbot.

You will then see a warning about using the plugin; please confirm to continue successfully.

Select the New option with project type Steel and design code AISC LRFD 360-22. Then select Create Project.

The new Checkbot project is ready to import members from ETABS.

In ETABS, select one of the inside members. In the bottom left corner of the screen, you will see how many elements you have selected and how many will be imported to Checkbot.

}As written in the article Known limitations, the eccentricity of the beams is not taken over into IDEA StatiCa. That is why we have manually set the purlins to the proper position. The value is calculated as 1/2 (20,8 + 7) = 13,9 in.

This value must also be set to the related members left and right of the analyzed beam.
Before we open the module Member, we have to set the proper value of the modulus of elasticity in tension/compression and shear according to AISC 360-16.
First, add the new steel grade to the project's tab Material. Select steel A992.

After that, by button Edit change the steel properties according to the following picture. The modulus of elasticity in tension/compression and shear is reduced by a factor of 0.8.

After that, select one cross-section after another, and set the correct value for the material as in the following picture.
