Great webinar video for beginners to avoid common modeling errors and work efficiently!

Modelling is so challenging in this software. Is it possible to import geometry from 3d cads such as inventor?

[@ideastatica_en]

We are supporting the BIM links to many applications, for geometry import, you can use Tekla Structures, Autodesk Revit and Advance Steel www.ideastatica.com/bim-links

Hello, you have to click on some part of the connection. Also, you need an Enhanced version of the license (includes also more analysis types, etc.). www.ideastatica.com/support-center/how-to-create-a-section-view For the Enhanced license type, please contact your reseller: www.ideastatica.com/resellers

Also please provide a tutorial for an example for bolted clamp detail for bolts through hollow steel beam or column?

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello Fazil, you can use the general bolt operation, just like in this case from our Sample project gallery www.ideastatica.com/support-center/anchoring-with-cleats However, please consider the following restrictions: www.ideastatica.com/support-center/through-bolts-for-hollow-sections-warning

How to model aluminum bracket fixed to aluminum mullion with hollow bolts?

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello Fazil, unfortunately we dont support aluminum material in our applications. What you can do is to change the material properties of steel, but the code-checks will be still as per steel structure. www.ideastatica.com/support-center/user-defined-material-properties IDEA StatiCa Team

I have 3 models/project in one files. I want to separate solely 1 model and make it an another file. How can I do that? Is there a way to do that? By the way, I'm newbie in Statica.

[@ideastatica_en]

Hey nirvana6440, the straightforward solution to this is to make a copy of the project file, open it and delete the unwanted models/files. If you work with Checkbot, there you can define export of connection models as either 1 file or multiple files: www.ideastatica.com/blog/calculate-all-your-project-items-in-one-go also here some info: www.ideastatica.com/blog/calculate-all-your-project-items-in-one-go

how Idea statica model built up tapered beam and column connection?

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello Sumi, you have to use the stiffening member for the tapered part of the connection - see the example in our Sample projects gallery. Or you can use the template directly in the New project wizard. www.ideastatica.com/support-center/double-haunches www.ideastatica.com/support-center/110-new-connection-templates-in-the-starting-wizard

[@dwigaluhayu9216]

hello sir... can you give me information on how to make connection in the model like in minute 26.15 in this video? I can't find it on your website.

[@ideastatica_en]

Hello! Please go trough our Campus course and learn how to model such connections there: www.ideastatica.com/campus Also, you can find similar examples in the Sample models gallery - download and open them and observe how the connection is modeled to reproduce it on your example. www.ideastatica.com/support-center-sample-projects?label=connection&page=2&scroll=true If you struggle, you can also contact our technical support via the User portal: www.ideastatica.com/support-center/how-to-create-a-new-support-case IDEA StatiCa team
