WEBINAR: 3D analysis and verification of a telecom mast anchoring system
A telecom mast project in Jutland, Denmark, required KI Consulting Engineers to verify a heavily loaded anchoring detail that standard code checks could not reliably assess. In this recent webinar hosted by IDEA StatiCa it was demonstrated how a full 3D reinforced-concrete analysis using IDEA StatiCa 3D Detail helped establish the actual capacity of the system.

IDEA StatiCa 25.1 is out now, bringing a set of practical improvements aimed at streamlining common tasks in anchoring and steel connection design.
Pretec Modul Plus Norway: An app to verify and enrich bolt data in Tekla Structures
Ensure your bolts are deliverable and your model data complete – directly inside Tekla Structures: The Pretec Modul Pluss Norway app connects Tekla Structures to Pretec’s bolt catalogue, allowing you to verify that the bolts used in your model exist in Pretec’s current product range.
Custom components for Invisible Connections available in Tekla Warehouse
Easier stair-landing detailing: The ‘IC Trapp Reposforbindelser’ (stair-landing connectors) from Invisible Connections is now available as a native Tekla component package. It streamlines modeling and documentation of stair-landing connections with accurate product data included from the start.
Smarter workflows with Trimble Connect extensions
Trimble Connect is a powerful platform for sharing, viewing, and managing construction models. But sometimes projects require a little extra functionality tailored to specific needs. That’s where extensions come in! Read more, see the video with an example from our team!
New modeling operations in IDEA StatiCa DETAIL lets you analyze more complex anchoring designs
Modeling complex anchoring scenarios in reinforced concrete just got more manageable! Two new Boolean operations in IDEA StatiCa DETAIL—Negative Volume and Cutting Plane—simplify the creation of non-standard concrete geometries. See the video to learn all about it!
Parametric design in IDEA StatiCa - Offshore structure example!
In this video guide and tutorial, Lukas Juricek from IDEA StatiCa demonstrates how to run a parametric study on a stiffened steel connection (offshore structure example) using the software’s Developer Mode and REST API.
How Nordic Fastening Group uses Tekla plugins to support designers
Nordic Fastening Group (NFG) now offers a plugin (developed by BuildingPoint Scandinavia) for their customers to helps engineers model bracing rod systems directly in Tekla Structures—accurately, efficiently, and with built-in product data!
In the video above and in this article we explain the benefits of using plugins and custom compoents, and demonstrate exactly HOW you use NFG’s plugin!
IDEA StatiCa 25.0 is out now!
IDEA StatiCa version 25.0 is officially available! The full release includes a wide range of improvements across steel and concrete workflows that we are certain the user community will appreciate.
IDEA StatiCa Tips and Tricks: Classic issues from our support desk!
Our IDEA StatiCa Support team regularly get questions from engineers that have run into the classic issues that most users encounter sooner or later. In our Tips & Tricks video, Fredrik Andresen covers a series of common problems and how to solve them efficiently!
Visual 4D Planning with the Trimble Connect Planner Extension V2
The Trimble Connect Planner extension allows planners, engineers, and site teams to create and share erection plans directly within the 3D environment. This improves clarity, speeds up planning, and makes it easier to coordinate across disciplines.
In this video we demonstrate how the Planner extension supports both prefab and cast-in-place workflows through model-based 4D planning!

Tekla 2025 brings smarter workflows, better automation, and enhanced collaboration!
IDEA StatiCa Quick Tip: How to perform Stiffness Analysis to improve global model accuracy
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 often exhibit some flexibility. By accurately determining the stiffness of a joint using IDEA StatiCa’s Stiffness Analysis capabilities, engineers can optimize their designs for weight, utilization, and cost!
