Checkbot

Export and synchronize hundreds of connections and members. Checkbot handles geometry and forces, so that you can focus on design.

Automate manual workflow steps

Stop checking connections one by one. Import the design from your FEA or CAD model with IDEA StatiCa Checkbot. Automatically group connections by type, load case, or model status.

$Map materials and cross-sections with ease$
$Track imported items and see their check status in the 3D scene$
$Design dozens of connection in one go$
$Analyze critical load combinations to avoid overchecking$

The time savings we were able to achieve with IDEA StatiCa per connection had a vital and positive impact of more than 900 man hours saved.

The software was implemented because of the need to analyze more complex and sometimes non-standard connections. With all the modeling and verification of IDEA StatiCa, it was possible to execute each one of them. The ease of transporting data from other design software is a plus.

The capabilities of this software are impressive, especially as we commonly encounter nonstandard connection details. Compared to other software, it is user-friendly, and from the analyses we’ve conducted, the processing/run time is generally not long.

This software gives me the freedom to be really creative with the connections. What's more, it pays for itself very quickly.

IDEA StatiCa is the only software that enables us to tackle non-standard steel connections, complex load paths and high-seismic applications with confidence. It is simply unmatched in its ability to design any type of steel connection in a fraction of the time that we would need with any other solution.
