Connection Design of a tubular 3D Frame in IDEA Statica

in this tutorial video you will learn how tu use CBFEM with IDEA Statica software to make connections to design and code checiking of a structural steel joint, case stady of a connection of tubular 3D Frame.

Principles of CBFEM method.
CBFEM - how it works, code compliance, validation and verification
Component Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM) is a synergy of the Component Method and Finite Element analysis.
CBFEM is a unique method for the design and code-check of steel connections, members, and anchoring. It can be used for the majority of joints, anchoring, and details with various topologies.
Component Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM) method is:
• General enough to be usable for most of the joints, footings, and details in engineering practice.
• Simple and fast enough in daily practice to provide results in a time comparable to current methods and tools.
• Comprehensive enough to provide structural engineers with clear information about joint behavior, stress, strain, reserves of individual components, and about overall safety and reliability.
The check of a joint in a standard component based method and in the CBFEM used in IDEA StatiCa Connection is based on the check of all parts of the joint – the components. Components can be bolts, anchors, welds, plates, and concrete at the footing.
CBFEM splits the whole joint into above mentioned separated components. Then the analysis model is created automatically by the software from each component.

Supported integrations
IDEA Statica cooperate closely with key industry players like Autodesk, Trimble, HILTI, and NEMETSCHEK,... to develop and provide the best workflows for structural engineers.

Use IDEA StatiCa Checkbot for the management of your BIM workflows – importing and synchronizing connections and members. Checkbot gives you complete control by providing:
A list of all imported items and their status – checked/not-checked
3D visualization of imported members and loads
A conversion table for materials and cross-sections
Management of load combinations .
