D.I.E. CAD BIM link to Connection application tutorial (German only)
D.I.E. CAD to IDEA StatiCa workflow
You can select any number of steel connections and members in D.I.E. CAD and export them to IDEA StatiCa for structural design and code checking. All beams, cross-sections, and operations (bolts, holes, welds, and cuts) are also completely synchronized if the D.I.E. CAD model changes. IDEA StatiCa and D.I.E. CAD give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.
This BIM link is managed by IDEA StatiCa Checkbot - an application for the management of BIM workflows. This means for you:
- Export and synchronize connections and members easily
- Complete control over all of your imported connections and members
- A clear list of all imported items, including status checked/not-checked
- 3D visualization of imported members and loads
- Conversion table for materials and cross-sections
- Load combinations management

Note
This third-party integration is developed and maintained by D.I.E. IDEA StatiCa does not take primary responsibility for maintaining this integration. All technical requirements and questions should be addressed to the link developer directly.
