Solution Sheet
Why is this Partnership Valuable to Intergraph Smart
®
3D Customers?
• Helps save schedule: Eliminates the manual process of syncing a configuration model and a structural
detail model
• Improves accuracy: Provides a more accurate model for identifying construction issues
• Optimizes designs: Bolts and plate optimization as well as batch processing of structural connections
• Reduction in downstream changes: Model information more closely reflects actual structural designs which reduces shop
remodeling and detailing as well as field modification
How?
• SDS2 is 5 times faster than other software on the first input
SDS2 has an 80-81% savings over other software
SDS2 has a 94% savings over hand calculations
• Designers can optimize structural members for less costly construction. Detail components are native Smart 3D objects.
Allowing designers to see all connection details and the effect of structural size changes on those connections.
