SDS2
SDS2 is an all-in-one steel detailing and connection-design software platform built to help detailers, fabricators, and structural engineers deliver accurate, fabrication-ready steel models and drawings with speed, automation, and integration. It supports modular packages, from basic 2D drafting to full 3D modeling plus shop-drawing generation, enabling users to create precise shop drawings, erection drawings, or full BIM models depending on their needs. SDS2 features automated connection design calibrated to framing conditions and fabrication preferences, intelligent clash detection, and live multi-user modeling so teams can collaborate in real time without conflicting data. It produces high-quality, code-compliant documentation and delivers production-ready output that can feed fabrication equipment or support CNC/automated workflows. SDS2 also interoperates with major BIM and fabrication-management systems via standard file formats.
