Parth Akbari, Structural Engineer at MIDAS IT Australia, presents the direct API link between MIDAS GEN NX and IDEA StatiCa, showing how global analysis results flow straight into local connection design without any file hand-off.
-
The session covers the full workflow from global model and load combinations in GEN NX through to bolt, weld, plate, and anchor design and code checks in IDEA StatiCa.

Description
In this session, Parth Akbari, Structural Engineer at MIDAS IT Australia, introduces the connection between MIDAS GEN NX and IDEA StatiCa — explaining why two tools are needed, with GEN NX sizing the global structure and IDEA StatiCa proving the joints that hold it together.
Parth demonstrates the built-in API link in MIDAS GEN NX 2026, which allows IDEA StatiCa Checkbot to read geometry and forces directly from the live model, without any intermediate file. The session walks through the full workflow — from global analysis and member sizing in GEN NX, through the API link, to connection design (bolts, welds, plates, anchors) and code checking in IDEA StatiCa, finishing with a live look at the IDEA StatiCa interface itself.
This is the second session in MIDAS IT Australia's free weekly CIVIL NX training series, designed to give engineers across Australia and New Zealand a fast, practical look at core workflows.
Key Points
Why two tools are used together — MIDAS GEN NX for global analysis, IDEA StatiCa for local connection design
The built-in API link in MIDAS GEN NX 2026 — geometry and forces move directly into IDEA StatiCa Checkbot, no file export needed
Full workflow: global analysis → member sizing in GEN NX → API link → connection design (bolts, welds, plates, anchors) → code check and calculation report in IDEA StatiCa
Live walkthrough of the IDEA StatiCa interface and Checkbot
