Bridging the Gap Between Designers and Fabricators for Smarter, Faster Projects
- WEDNESDAY, JUN 25, 2025 | 11:00 AM (CDT)
One of the biggest causes of RFIs and delays in steel construction timelines is the disconnect between engineering and detailing. This is why more fabrication shops and engineering firms are bringing these services together under the same roof—and why ALLPLAN is introducing a new integrated workflow between two of its most powerful products.
Join us to see how you can leverage SDS2 and SCIA Engineer to combine steel detailing and structural analysis into one smooth workflow. We’ll show you how to use SDS2 to easily create accurate steel models, analyze designs and loads in SCIA, and smoothly transfer SAF data back and forth.
What to Expect:
- Eliminate the rework associated with design changes.
- Automatically transfer loads and other data between detailing and engineering software.
- Deliver fully connected models ready for fabrication.
- Minimize RFIs, make better design decisions, and reduce project timelines.
