lower project costs with more buildable designs.
The biggest design savings aren't found through smaller section sizes, but rather in connections that are efficient to fabricate and erect. SDS2 is the only connection design software that delivers a 360-degree analysis of framing conditions and automatically adjusts for potential issues with fabrication and erection, which leads to lower project costs and fewer RFIs.
avoid conflicts and accelerate project timelines
Steel connection design from SDS2 gives you fabrication-efficient connections with automatic clash detection—and they're all fully validated with expanded design calculations for the complete structural node. Whether you use SDS2 for design or review, you can trust our connections to be field- and fabrication-ready—and to deliver you massive time savings.


streamline reviews and enhance communication
Standard connection schedules add RFIs and costs to the project, but with SDS2 you can go beyond schedules to real-world steel intelligence and reliable design calculations. With simple feedback options and status displays, you can clearly communicate any design changes and approvals within the model environment in real time.
