SDS/2 Design Data V2016 Intelligent Connection Design and Calculations. SDS/2 Detailing offers the highest level of automation and intelligence available in 3D steel detailing. SDS/2 Detailing offers the highest level of automation and intelligence available in 3D steel detailing. As the detailer inputs members, like columns and beams, connections are automatically designed with their necessary materials, bolts, holes and welds. SDS/2 Detailing takes a uniquely intelligent approach in its connection design by considering framing conditions and erectibility, automatically performing clash prevention as a part of its connection design. In addition, SDS/2 Detailing can value engineer the connections on a project, helping users to design the most economical connections to fabricate and erect. No other 3D detailing product can do this automatically. SDS/2’s expanded design calculations give users the full formulas for all force checks of connections. With SDS/2, users can see how the software arrives at the connection results, and assists engineers in reviewing connections.
