TECH TOPIC

IDEA StatiCa

At The Di Salvo Engineering Group, innovation meets precision. Our team leverages the power of industry leading software including IDEA StatiCa for advanced steel connection design and analysis, to solve even the most challenging structural problems with confidence and efficiency.

IDEA StatiCa allows us to go beyond the limits of traditional design specifications using stress-strain analysis.

By integrating IDEA StatiCa into our workflow, The Di Salvo Engineering Group is able to:

Analyze complex, irregular steel connections with 3D finite element models
Ensure code compliance with AISC standards
Minimize material waste and reduce fabrication costs through optimized design
Validate both strength and stiffness

Trust The Di Salvo Engineering Group to bring cutting-edge technology and decades of experience to your next structural project.
