How SDS/2 Helps You
“We made the decision back when we started

the company to go with SDS/2
for a lot of reasons. One, a great reputation. I had experience with
them in the past, and I knew that they were the kind of people to
stand behind their software. They work hard to make the best detailing
software in the world. And it continually gets better and better. There’s
nothing SDS/2 can’t do with steel. And we’ve proven that.

LeMessurier Calls on Tekla Structural
Designer for Complex Projects
Interoperability and Time Saving Tools
Tekla Structural Designer was developed specifically
to maximize collaboration with other project parties,
including technicians, fabricators and architects. Its
unique functionality enables engineers to integrate the
physical design model seamlessly with Tekla Structures
or Autodesk Revit, and to round-trip without compro-
mising vital design data.
“We’re able to import geometry from Revit, design in

Tekla Structural Designer and export that information
for import back into Revit. If an architect makes
geometry updates or changes a slab edge, we’ll send
those changes back into Tekla Structural Designer, re-
run the analysis and design, and push updated design
information back into Revit.”
