IDEA StatiCa Short Tutorial: Operation “NEGATIVE VOLUME” [EN]

Sometimes you need an opening in a member that the standard Openings operation simply can't produce — an irregular shape, or a cut-out for pipes and cable routing. In this short tutorial I show you the Negative volume operation in IDEA StatiCa Connection. We build the connection from scratch: stiffening members, member cuts with contact-surface welds, the negative volume itself, the bolted joint, and a stiffening plate to close the opening — all the way to a clean check. If you're already experienced and only need the Negative volume operation, use the chapters below to jump straight to it. 00:00 Full modeling of the connection 04:05 Operation: Negative volume You can find me on: LinkedIn ►   / ivanbeles   Homepage ► www.scia.at
