  1. Benefits of Cold Formed Steel Design Software

  2. Cold-Formed Steel (CFS), also known as Light Steel Framing (LSF), has been a viable construction material for a very short amount of time compared to typical building materials like wood. Within this little time frame, there have been significant changes not just in the products themselves but also in the design process. Traditionally, the design of cold-formed steel has not been taught in schools, which has provided design professionals with the opportunity to learn about the job.

  3. There are a number of companies out there that provide LSF or CFS Software that is tailored exclusively for this area of design. This makes it much easier for structural engineers and shop drawing engineers to design and build utilizing Cold-Formed Steel. Improved or Enhanced Bidding Increase the accuracy of your bids. If you bid on a work using studs, clips, or connectors of improper size, you run the risk of significantly lowering your revenues or making the job unprofitable. Make sure that your bids include information that is 100 percent accurate and complete.

  4. Reduce your financial burden. You need to make sure that the steel frame that you are producing is exact to the very last detail while avoiding over-engineering and ensuring that the customer is happy. It is a challenging endeavor to maintain a constant balance between safety and cost savings. If the metal studs and other structural components are designed with insufficient care, there is a possibility that there may be a safety issue. If you over engineer a product, you run the danger of upsetting the client since you will need them to spend more money on the materials and the number of labor hours needed to complete the project. Shop drawing engineers may utilize software to verify that their design complies with the most recent version of the IBC code for their state, that the walls, floors, and roofs are able to handle the loads, and that the stud spacing is safe, and that the appropriate bridging is employed.

  5. Spend less time on the planning phase by following these tips. To calculate lateral loads, all that is required is the entry of the project's zip code and the building shape (wind, earthquake, and snow). The plugin is capable of doing automated calculations of lateral loads and may be incorporated into the shear-wall design module with relative ease in order to facilitate the design of X-braced shear walls. The amount of time you spend doing calculations by hand may be considerably reduced by using design software that is of high quality.

  6. During the process of generating shop drawings, exporting helps save time. It is possible for these pieces of information to be exported by Curtain Walls, Load Bearing Walls, X-Brace Shear Walls, Knee Walls, Roof Framing, Roof Trusses, and Floor Framing. CFS Design Software makes it all easy.
