Stiffness Analysis in IDEA StatiCa!

Read the article here: 👉 https://buildingpoint-scandinavia.com...

When performing a global analysis of a steel structure, engineers typically assume connections are either fully rigid or pinned. While this simplifies the analysis, real-world connections exhibit some flexibility. By accurately determining the stiffness of a joint, engineers can take advantage of this flexibility in some cases, and optimize their designs for weight, utilization, and cost!

This blog post summarizes key insights from our video tutorial on stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa and how it can improve global model accuracy.
