The SDS/2 family of software provides solutions for the entire plant design process. Within the SDS/2 environment, users can engineer the structure, and coordinate between structural, equipment, conveying systems and piping. Once this coordination is complete, SDS/2 Detailing creates all fabrication drawings, generates CNC files for fabrication, and all other tools needed to build the structure.
Clash prevention is vital in plant design, and SDS/2 offers tools specifically to find, and ultimately prevent, clashes before they reach the field. Using SDS/2 on your next plant layout and design will increase productivity and profits while reducing errors.
The interoperability offered by SDS/2 software solutions plays a large role in ensuring that clashes are prevented before they make it to the field. Through file transfers, SDS/2 BIM imports models from many popular plant design software products, designs connections and gusset plates, and then sends that model back to ensure that any clashes can be avoided. Once that model is in SDS/2, plant design companies can even take advantage of the manufacturing model to create their own shop drawings and add value to the product they provide their customers.
SDS/2 Erector helps modularize the fabrication and shipping of the structure. This product is a valuable aid in scheduling the erection of the structure to meet and exceed project timelines.
