- Make the preview fig 1200x630 and
- save all the source files onto the drive: \IDEA StatiCa\IDEA Group - Files\04 Releases\Release notes\24.1
- Save the figs in Kentico into the proper folder (Assets-Support Center-Release notes-24.1)

Value proposition
We improved import speed by delaying connection creation (.ideaconn) till the point where are they are really needed. Import speedup varies from FEA link to FEA link.
During import, we skip part where all imported connections are written down to hard drive in Connections folder in Checkbot project since it took majority of import time. Ideaconns are created at moment , when user wants to interact with them – It means:
- Design Connection in IDEA Connection
- Export Connections to Viewer or to files
- Design Connection for checks in Member application
- And so on …
Creation of subset of Ideaconns when they are needed is much less time consuming compared to generation hundreds of files during import process. By that user should experience faster import of big models and smoother working experience in IDEA Checkbot.
Note that model vary in number of load combination and results. Measurement does indicate a positive change but does not mean that all imports for selected FEA software will be 60,8% faster.
Robot API has to be investigated, import speedup did not have such impact as we expected at the begining.
Released in IDEA StatiCa version 24.1.
