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.

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!

At the 2025 IDEA StatiCa User Meeting in Finland, Pavel Ostrovsky, Design Manager at Rambøll, shared how his work with reinforced concrete design has evolved alongside IDEA StatiCa. What began in 2019 with limitations and frustrations has grown into a powerful toolset now applied on industrial projects across Europe and the Americas.

At NYMO, augmented reality has become a practical tool in daily fabrication work. Using Trimble Connect and Trimble SiteVision, engineers can bring the 3D model into the field to check assembly, detect errors earlier, and document findings directly on site.

Six months into 2025—where did the time go?! It’s been a packed first half of the year, and before everyone heads off for a well-earned summer break, we wanted to look back at what’s been going on, and more importantly: What’s coming next!

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!

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.

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!

If you are using, Tekla, Trimble Connect, IDEA StatiCa or any of the CSi products like ETABS and SAP2000—or perhaps all of the above… well then we have an event for YOU!

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.

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!

A “user day” is nothing without its users—and this year’s Tekla User Day 2025 in Denmark is all about learning from the experts who put Tekla to the test on real projects! Meet the speakers!

In collaboration with Lemvigh-Müller, NCC and CN3, BuildingPoint Scandinavia invited professionals from across the construction industry to explore how 3D BIM can improve rebar detailing, fabrication, and project execution!

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!

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!

Registration for Tekla User Day Denmark 2025 is now open!

Join specialists from Trimble and BuildingPoint Scandinavia as well as other Tekla users for this full day (and evening) dedicated to tips and tricks, customer use cases and other inspiring presentations!

SPEAKERS WANTED! Are you an IDEA StatiCa user? We invite you to present at this year’s IDEA StatiCa User meetings!
