Version 25.0 highlights
Concrete Design
- Anchoring design extended with cast-in plates, column pedestals and general foundation shapes. All with new wizard templates.
- ACI design code implemented for anchoring, with new export from Connection to 3D Detail.
- Prestressing design as per ACI 318-19 and Australian code added to 2D Detail.
- Calculation of 3D tasks 4x faster, quicker application startup with new 3D scene.
- New link from Beam to Detail for Precasters. LTB results from Beam linked to RCS.
Steel Connection Design
- Wizard redesigned for covering 200+ most typical connection parametric templates.
- Personal and Company Library sets accessible from Wizard with a searchbox.

- Regional improvements - PJP welds for EC, ACI code version 318-19, and anchoring for GB (China) code. English language of our tools is adjusted to regional specifics of UK and US markets.
- Sharing of the structural model through Viewer directly from Connection. Performance of the 3D scene 10x faster for complex connections with the support of new model information about anchoring concrete block, shear lug or anchors‘ properties.
- Viewer capabilities extended with additional model information about anchors and concrete blocks.
BIM and Checkbot
- Checkbot's new bulk workflows import up to 1000 nodes models, automatic connection grouping with selection of critical load effects. Calculate and generate reports, all in one click.
- Clear status of nodes visible directly in 3D scene with Connection autosave.
- BIM link with Tekla Structures with full support of anchoring models
- New BIM link with Midas NX and Grasshopper plugin updated to new Connection API
- Check the compatibility with your software in the list of supported versions in 25.0
Usability and Licensing
- New Launcher app, the initial window of the IDEA StatiCa toolbox offers the most relevant info and news for every user.
- User Portal provides new self-service options for license admins for user account management, together with users’ experience score and updated e-learning dashboard.
