The STATIX suite · how it works together

One model, from analysis to the site.

STATIX is one chain for structural engineers and detailers. You build the structure once. STATIX solves it, designs every member, slab and connection clause by clause, and hands the result on as calc sheets, bending schedules, reinforcement drawings and fabrication models. Nothing is typed in twice.

The workflow

Six stages, left to right. Each stage reads what the stage before it made.

Revit ⇄A two-way link with Autodesk Revit: bring the Revit model into STATIX for stage 1, see what changed and choose what to accept, and send columns, beams, footings and slabs back as real Revit rebar after stage 5.
1 · MODEL

Build it once

One 3D model for the whole structure.

  • Frames, slabs and walls; steel and concrete
  • Generators for portal frames, trusses and more
  • Supports, releases, springs and offsets
STATIX 3D
2 · ANALYSE

Solve it

Loads and combinations, then the solve.

  • Load combinations to SANS 10160
  • Linear static, P-Delta (second order)
  • Buckling factor αcr of the frame
  • Results drawn on the structure itself
STATIX 3D
3 · DESIGN

Check every member

Each member designed with the forces it really carries.

  • RC beams, columns, pad footings and slabs
  • Steel members and cold-formed sections
  • Clause by clause: SANS 10100-1, SANS 10162-1, EN, BS
RC design
4 · CONNECT

Every joint

The joints found for you, with their forces.

  • Connection Hub: every joint and its forces from every combination
  • Connection Studio: plates, bolts and welds in 3D
Connections
5 · DOCUMENT

Sheets and drawings

The proof and the paper for the site.

  • Calc sheets with every clause
  • SANS 282 bending schedules
  • Reinforcement drawings in AutoCAD with STATIX 2D
  • Drawing sheets, schedules and quantities on the project board
STATIX 2DCalc sheetsProject board
6 · BUILD

To the fabricator

The design goes on as models, not as retyped numbers.

  • Rebar back into Revit
  • Steel connections with every plate and bolt into Advance Steel

STATIX serverStages 2 to 4 run on the STATIX server: the solver, the buckling analysis and the design engines. Your computer draws the answer. The same engines run the free calculators, so a member checked in a calculator gets the same answer as in the model.
One accountOne sign-in for STATIX 3D, the calculators and the desktop add-ins (STATIX 2D for AutoCAD, Revit, Advance Steel). A STATIX 2D licence belongs to one PC: signing in on a new PC moves it there.

Start with one member

The free calculators are the design stage on its own: one beam, column, footing, slab or connection at a time, with a printable calc sheet. They run on the same engines as the model.
