LEARN ABOUT DESIGNING STEEL STRUCTURES WITH SCIA AND SDS/2

Even in the most straightforward projects, structural engineers and steel detailers are being asked to participate in collaborative, BIM model based workflows. SCIA Engineer and SDS/2 (both Nemetschek companies) are working together to provide a workflow for sharing models in an efficient and robust manner. This allows the combination of the world-renowned analysis capabilities of SCIA Engineer with the unmatched connection design capabilities of SDS/2.

To demonstrate this collaboration, the companies will host a joint webinar on September 26 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. CDT.

Register to learn how engineers and detailers can:

  • Analyze and design steel structures in SCIA Engineer according to AISC 360 and AISI S100
  • Utilize IFC models to exchange data and automatically create native SDS/2 models
  • Take advantage of result information from SCIA Engineer to design accurate connections in SDS/2
  • Utilize the automatic connection design feature in SDS/2 which considers fit-up and constructability

Continuing Education Units: Attendees will receive a certificate in order to self-report PDH credit.
