COMOSYS to IDEA StatiCa workflow
About the COMOSYS Steel plugin
COMOSYS is an all-in-one steel detailing and steel connection design software solution for engineers, fabricators and drafting professionals to perform automated steel connection design and produce high quality steel detail drawings. The structural model, once analyzed and designed in COMOSYS, is transferred to COMOSYS unidirectionally with accurate member positions, eccentricities and analysis results. Connection design, steel detailing and drafting is then carried out in COMOSYS.
You can easily model and design steel connections in COMOSYS and export them directly to Checkbot, apply the loads to the connection, and proceed with the CBFEM analysis and code checks.
With the link, all beams, profiles, operations (bolts, holes, welds and cuts) are automatically synchronized if the COMOSYS model changes.
IDEA StatiCa and COMOSYS give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.
The BIM link is managed by IDEA StatiCa Checkbot – an application for the management of BIM workflows. This means you can:
- Export and synchronize connections and members easily.
