Hello, what you do in IDEA StatiCa is you design the connections and you get a code-check of conrete in compression under the base plate and shear. www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-components-according-to-aisc You do not design the reinforced concrete block itself. Size of the concrete block that would pass the code-checks for anchors depends on multiple criteria - mainly the problem is the concrete cone breakout www.ideastatica.com/support-center/concrete-cone-area-of-single-anchor-and-group-of-anchors
No, the concrete block is simplified www.ideastatica.com/support-center/concrete-block but can be modeled in IDEA StatiCa Detail www.ideastatica.com/walls-and-details
Hello, thanks for your question. COncrete splitting failure check is not possible at the moment. Read more on our website: www.ideastatica.com/blog/safe-and-accurate-anchoring-design
Hello, thanks for the very appropriate question. The answer is: "Not yet." :-) See our theoretical background describing how CBFEM treats the structural model of a concrete block. www.ideastatica.com/support-center/concrete-block But we are really aware of this very common customer requirement and exploring the way how to achieve this.
Are we designing footing for base plate or just pedestal for base plate? In idea statica
And why we are getting larger dimensions of Concrete block?

is concrete splitting check included?

Can Ideastatica use a concrete Foundation Block with reinforced steel bars?
good question
