IDEA StatiCa for Concrete

IDEA StatiCa Concrete is an advanced structural engineering software designed to help engineers analyse and design concrete details and connections with confidence.

From footings and pile caps to walls, columns, anchoring systems and reinforcement layouts, the software enables fast, code-compliant verification of complex concrete elements using realistic 3D models and non-linear analysis.

Smarter concrete design. Stronger structures. Total confidence.

Walls and Discontinuity Regions

Quickly design concrete walls and D-regions using topology optimisation, stress checks and full code verification in IDEA StatiCa.

Anchoring to Concrete Blocks

Design anchors in reinforced concrete – including cast-in plates, columns and pedestals – with clear 3D verification.

Members and Cross-sections

Analyse any member geometry, reinforcement or pre-stressing to code, with fast optimisation and transparent results.

Design, analyse and code-check concrete in one workflow.

Move from concept to final verification faster with IDEA StatiCa. Streamline your concrete design process while supporting standards commonly used in Australia and New Zealand, including AS 3600.

Professionals Using IDEA StatiCa Concrete

Structural Engineers
Design, analyse, and code-check concrete walls, beams, and discontinuity regions with confidence. Verify anchor connections, baseplates, column pedestals, and near-edge conditions in a single workflow, helping you move from model to compliant design faster.

Bridge Engineers
Handle staged construction, bridge diaphragms, and complex reinforcement layouts with clarity. IDEA StatiCa Concrete supports detailed bridge scenarios, making it easier to validate intricate geometry and reinforcement intent.

Consulting & Civil Engineers
Review, check, and optimise designs across multiple projects or contractors. Ideal for independent verification and design refinement, it helps ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance across diverse project scopes.

Students & Educators
Learn reinforced concrete design principles using real engineering software. Test practical workflows, explore behaviour in critical regions, and build job-ready skills in a professional environment.

Reinforcement Design & Analysis

Design reinforcement for rebars and tendons, with non-linear 2D analysis results covering both ULS and SLS to EN, ACI, and Australian standards. The workflow supports fast verification and detailed insight across a wide range of concrete applications, including:

  • Concrete walls for structural and retaining scenarios
  • Beams with openings, dapped ends, and other discontinuities
  • Bridge diaphragms requiring complex reinforcement layouts
  • Pile caps and pier caps with concentrated load paths
  • General-shaped D-regions where traditional methods fall short

Advanced Foundation & Baseplate Design

Design concrete reinforcement for anchoring, including near-edge baseplates, cast in plates and non-standard foundation shapes.

  • Import base plates, anchors and loads from the IDEA StatiCa Connection app to design concrete reinforcement
  • Create accurate outputs using real reinforcement, stiffness and shear transfer through anchors, shear lugs or friction
  • Get non-linear analysis results in 3D for ULS

Perform Concrete Member and Cross-section Design

Design and analyse beams, columns, walls, and slabs with detailed reinforcement layouts and code-compliant verification.

Design Any Concrete Element

Analyse, design and code-check concrete of any geometry, cross-section and loading, including:

  • Reinforced concrete beams, sections, and cross-sections
  • Prestressed members and cross-sections
  • 2D elements – slabs, walls and shells
  • Beams with openings, general shape frames, slender members
