Release note IDEA Statica 7.0 IDEA Statica Steel Version 7 is the next chapter in reinventing steel connection design. It comes one year after the previous version 6 and brings many new features and improvements. Majority of them were inspired by our users, resellers and partners. Ileap software free download. Manuale di Bruno Zan che riporta numerosi esempi di Calcolo e Verifica delle Strutture in Legno e di resistenza al fuoco di questo materiale. Software Calcolo Strutturale; Tutti i libri. Volume per il calcolo e la verifica delle strutture in legno aggiornato alle NTC 2018 che analizza le caratteristiche del legno strutturale e i modi d. Highlights • Stiffness and deformation capacity • Base plates, anchors • Stiffening members • General contacts between plates • SAP2000 - new FEA link Improvements • Model of welds • Tekla/ Advance steel links • Report – one line content • Dxf pictures • Loads – export to Excel • Simplifications – setups, ribbons, report Stiffness and deformation capacity Version 7 provides a new function which analyses the stiffness and capacity of a connection of any member in the joint. Complete diagram is generated automatically, is directly displayed in GUI and can be added into the output report. Rotational or axial stiffness can be studied for specific design load. IDEA StatiCa Connection can also deal with the influence of other internal forces. Diagram shows: • Level of design load • Limit value of capacity of conncetion for 5% equivalent strain • Limit valure of capacity of connected member (useful also for seismic design) • 2/3 of limit capacity for calculation of initial stiffness • Value of initial stiffness • Limits for the classification of conncetion - rigid and pinned Base plate, anchoring V7 offers the option to input different offsets of concrete block on different edges of steel base plate. Offsets influence the calculation of the size of break-out cones. End of anchors are frequently modified to increase the cohesion and make break-out cone bigger. However in checks it is involved only in the size of break-out cone. User can define washers of specific size to make break-out cone bigger. Washer can be rectangular or circular, but both have the same influence to the size of cone. Stiffening members Users of IDEA StatiCa Connection can reinforce steel joints with additional plates – stiffeners, ribs, doublers. Segments of hot rolled or cold formed profiles can be used for stiffening in version 7. These stiffening members behave in the joint the same way as basic steel members – all manufacturing operations can be applied on them. Stiffening members cannot take loads. They are not a part of 3D global model of the structure. General contacts between plates Steel connection is modelled like a system of plates (members are composed from plates), welds, bolts and contacts. Contacts appear in places where two plates are in touch. They take 100% of the pressure but do not act in tension at all. Contacts are automatically generated in between plates which are a part of bolted connection. Version 7 brings an option to define the contact between any 2 surfaces of plates even if they are not bolted together. A lot of practical technical tasks can be resolved thanks to this new feature. Link with SAP 2000 SAP2000 is widely-used FEA structural software. IDEA StatiCa 7.0 can read all necessary data for design of steel joints from SAP2000 3D models. IDEA StatiCa can read the whole SAP2000 project or only its part. For IDEA StatiCa Connection there is a simplified direct workflow – just select a node in SAP2000, click on a “IDEA Connection” plug-in and design the joint. Model of welds Welds are an important part of any steel joint. Version 6 we use the model where weld is modelled like a constrain between edge and surface of plates. Constrain itself does not have material properties. IDEA StatiCa calculates forces in constrains and offer evaluation using 3 methods – maximal/ average/ linear. IDEA StatiCa development team has been working on a much more precise model. Such where welds are also equipped by material properties. It means they can become plastic like all steel plates. This model will provide better results especially for long welds. The effect called “effective length of weld” will be taken into account already in calculated results. ![]() Plastic welds will be available once a thorough development and testing process finished but no later than by 1 st October 2016. What was improved for welds already in version 7: The geometry of weld position was rebuilt. ![]() The real length of weld is respected in case of different length of welded edges or in case if interruption of welds due to openings. Precise position of welds gives us the chance to improve the presentation of welds. Welds are rendered like in reality when using “solid“ mode. When using “transparent“ mode, only line constrain between edge and surface is shown. This allows to easily check correct implementation of weld. New geometry helped to improve behavior of welds which are close to edge of plate where IDEA StatiCa can give nonsymmetrical results in symmetrical tasks. Thanks to this correction and improvement, the version 7 results can give a bit different results of stress in certain cases.
