The future of structural steel design is here—and it's connected.
Say goodbye to RFIs, delays, and guesswork. With SDS2 and SCIA by ALLPLAN, engineers and fabricators can collaborate like never before.
Traditional workflows force engineers to deliver incomplete designs, causing bottlenecks, RFIs, and delays. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if you could deliver models fully connected? Imagine a workflow where fully designed, connected models eliminate the guesswork and streamline the entire process from design to fabrication. That's what you get when you combine the fabrication-focused intelligence of SDS2 with the analytical power of SCIA.
