About the AxisVM plugin

You can select any concrete member or part of the whole AxisVM model and export it to IDEA StatiCa for structural design. All the members, cross-sections, and internal forces are also completely synchronized if the AxisVM model changes. IDEA StatiCa and AxisVM give you an efficient workflow for your structural concrete design that saves time, minimizes errors, and opens up optimization possibilities.

There are two ways to connect IDEA StatiCa and AxisVM. 

AxisVM to IDEA StatiCa Beam

The first way is to directly connect the selected beam from AxisVM to IDEA StatiCa Beam, where the reinforcement or complex prestressing design, including TDA, is possible. 

AxisVM to IDEA StatiCa Checkbot

The second option is to export part of the structure or the whole structure into IDEA StatiCa Member through Checkbot.

The BIM link is managed by Checkbot - an application for the management of BIM workflows. This means:

  • Export and synchronize members easily
  • Complete control over all of your imported members
  • A clear list of all imported items including status checked/not-checked
  • 3D visualization of imported members
  • Conversion table for materials and cross-sections
  • Load combinations management

Read more about How Checkbot works.

You can then open the design in the IDEA StatiCa Member application from Checkbot. This application is suitable for the design of slender members as it also implements geometrically non-linear analysis. 

How to get started

You do not need anything special to get started - just download and install both applications on the same PC, and activate the BIM link in a few easy steps. And you can start exporting and designing concrete members right away.
