interaction TECHZONE Design Data USA now bringing SDS/2 technology for Indian market Since 1981 Design Data Inc. has been a leading provider of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solutions for the structural steel industry’s engineering, detailing and fabrication sectors. The BIM software suite from Design Data provides sophisticated and complete solutions covering the entire steel delivery workflow, from structural calculations and detailing to fabrication and erection. SDS/2 software products provide automatic detailing, engineering information, fabrication data and much more, reducing the time required to design, detail, fabricate and erect steel. Design Data’s flagship product, SDS/2 Detailing, offers the highest level of automation and intelligence available in any 3D steel detailing package. DAMON SCAGGS, PRESIDENT & CEO, DESIGN DATA INC spoke to CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES on his company’s software solutions and plans for India. Tell us about your SDS/2 software design the most economical connections to questions. solutions and the scope of their fabricate and erect. No other 3D detailing More details about our technology can be applications. product can do this automatically. SDS/2 seen from www.sds2.com/solutions As a leader in steel industry software sofware allowing a code check connection development for 30 years, we constantly design inbuilt within the system helps Your views on the potential of Indian bring new technology to the market. Not design engineers greatly and save lot of time market only was it the frst steel sofware of its kind, from manual process. We keenly observe India market , not just Design Data's SDS/2 remains the standard Details and sub material and erection because many of our SDS/2 users from India by which all other systems are judged. drawings are automatically generated cater the need of various USA fabricators SDS/2 Detailing ofers the highest level by SDS/2 Detailing, whose unmatched and contractors, but also India's own of automation and intelligence available drawing quality saves more time on shop construction segment is growing fast. Many in 3D steel detailing. With unparalleled drawings. But drawings are no longer high value construction projects in India are connection design intelligence and high- the only requirement of detailers. SDS/2 built with structural steel , there are many quality drawing production, SDS/2 gives Detailing also provides CNC data, MRP big local steel manufacturers expanding you the power to get the job done more information and 3D models, giving detailers their production, quality of skill engineering efciently. all the tools needed to start profting from community in India are very promising. As the detailer inputs members, like columns their investment. Our user base in India is growing rapidly, and beams, connections are automatically We support BIM integration process, SDS/2 more than thousand licenses already in use designed with their necessary materials, BIM is the hub of model information for in India. My colleague Andy Lee (Director bolts, holes and welds. SDS/2 Detailing BIM coordinators. SDS/2 BIM provides International Operation) and his team are takes a uniquely intelligent approach in its coordinators with the power to gather further developing our internal robust plans connection design by considering framing and track information about the steel on for the Indian subcontinent market and conditions and electability, automatically the project using reporting and status we are confdent that many more Indian performing clash prevention as a part tools. With all crucial information readily engineering and consulting companies will of its connection design. In addition, available and easy to access, SDS/2 BIM soon be benefted by SDS/2 solutions. We SDS/2 Detailing can value engineer the can help project managers and coordinators understand and appreciate India market connections on a project, helping users to get immediate answers to vital project potential. 96 construction opportunities|aPrIL 2017
