Connection design and structural analysis simplified in a seamless workflow: design in SDS2, verify in SCIA and make use of the bi-directional link.

This webinar explores the seamless connection between SDS2 and SCIA – two specialised applications within the ALLPLAN portfolio – and demonstrates how they integrate with additional tools through the cloud-based BIMPLUS platform. SDS2 provides advanced capabilities for connection design, while SCIA delivers comprehensive structural analysis, ensuring that every aspect of design and evaluation is thoroughly addressed.

 
Attendees will discover how this integration streamlines workflows, reduces data transfer errors, and accelerates project delivery by bridging the gap between design and analysis. The session also highlights BIMPLUS’s role as a collaborative hub that facilitates real-time data exchange and communication among various applications further enhancing project coordination and decision-making. By leveraging these integrated solutions, professionals can achieve a more efficient, responsive, and innovative approach to managing complex construction projects, ultimately driving excellence in the design and engineering process.

Reasons to attend

  • Understand the individual roles and functionalities of SDS2 for connection design and SCIA for structural analysis.

  • Learn how the seamless integration between SDS2 and SCIA streamlines workflows and minimises data transfer errors.

  • Identify methods to accelerate project delivery by bridging design and analysis through integrated (cloud) solutions.

Intended for

  • Structural and Connection Engineers – Professionals focused on designing and analyzing structural connections can leverage the integrated capabilities of SDS2 and SCIA to enhance precision and reduce rework.

  • BIM Coordinators and Construction Managers – Those responsible for project coordination and data exchange will benefit from understanding how the BIMPLUS platform streamlines collaborative workflows across design and analysis tools.

  • Architectural and Engineering Firms – Firms aiming to optimise overall project delivery can utilise these integrated solutions to enhance communication between design, analysis, and engineering applications under the Allplan brand.
