Dindas Design Suite, or “DDS”, is a top-of-the-line software package that evaluates load paths throughout a structure to ensure compliance with Australian standards. DDS’s single-member tool allows our designers to create components that meet all AU/NZ building codes.
The Feature Tools in DDS software offer the flexibility to manually add different types of loads and design fasteners for multiple members. It also allows users to create different hole shapes in joists and beams, capable of working as an analysis tool for locating shear and moment results. Additionally, DDS can check notches and sloped end cuts in beams, making repairs a breeze.
Designers face the challenge of achieving a high-performing design while keeping costs in check. In the past, they had to manually evaluate the performance of each joist or wait until the entire design was complete to assess overall performance. This process was time-consuming and could result in costly changes.
With our exclusive “heat mapping” technology, our EWP designers now have access to the most advanced tool in the EWP software market. This technology allows them to make performance-based decisions in real-time, resulting in the most efficient and top-rated design solution.
Our advanced design analysis tool built into DDS allows users to check the entire floor area for optimal performance in one go, covering all essential design principles as follows:
The results are reported via a custom colour-coded system that indicates % increases over the Australian Standard set limits.
The DDS-iStruct® application suite is an essential tool for the design, specification and delivery of structural products in residential and commercial construction.
