New SDS/2 Connect Release Includes Link to Fastrak

The 2011.2 and 2012.2 versions of SDS/2 Connect have been released and are now available for download.

The updated version includes the ability to import end reactions via a CXL file created with CSC's Fastrack Building Designer. This will save users a significant amount of time inputting end reactions for each structural element, and allow more accurately designed connections based on design loads.

Other highlights:

• Support of double channel sections
• Connection design for HSS Structure Round and Pipe families as Round Pipe
• Ability to modify the family library from which Revit Structure inserts sections into projects
• Joists using sections that SDS/2 Connect recognizes, such as wide flanges, will now be designed as beams
• The AS4100 (Australian) design code has been added
• Additional setup screens allowing more control over a project

The new release is available only to those who have already purchased SDS/2 Connect or for new 30-day trial downloads.
