Anchor type selection for better understandability
When defining the anchor configurations, there is now a two-step anchor selection process in IDEA StatiCa Connection, designed to improve clarity, consistency, and user control. The new workflow separates the installation process from the anchor type, making it easier for designers to select the correct anchoring method and ensuring a unified experience between the Connection and Detail applications.
Anchor definition now follows a two-step logic:
- Installation process selection – first define whether the anchor is Post-installed or Cast-in-place
- Anchor type selection – based on the installation process, relevant anchor types become available:
- Post-installed: Threaded rod, General anchor
- Cast-in place: Washer plate (Rectangular or Circular), Hooked anchor, ,
