Dindas Design Suite

Jump to

The Dindas Design Suite® is the most powerful ‘EWP’ Design software available in the industry.

It is provided exclusively by Dindas Australia, featuring the isPlan®, isDesign® and isView® engineering software framework.

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.

Easy-to-follow and comprehensive layouts for both residential and commercial buildings;
Certified designs in compliance with the state Building Act and Regulations;
Complimentary design and take-off from building plans;
Cost-effective design and building solutions;
Comprehensive Technical support.

Heat Mapping Technology

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:

- - Deflection – Live Load L/x
  - Vibration (FNF checks)
  - Deflection Live Load – mm differences across joist areas
  - Deflection Total L/x
  - Deflection Total Load – mm deflection differences
  - Moment Analysis
  - Shear Analysis

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.

Experience the power of Dindas Design Suite’s latest feature: Introducing Dindas isView®, an interactive experience allowing builders and certifiers to easily access the entire model through a simple navigation app on their mobile device or tablet. This feature aims to enhance installer education and streamline the process of ensuring correct system installation.

With isView®, you can:

- Seamlessly navigate through different sections of the construction structure on a mobile device or tablet. No download of external applications is required. (picture)
- Select individual construction members to verify product details, including Joist data, Beam data, structural support data, and connection requirements.
- Select penetrations in joists or beams to get accurate placement dimensions.
- Generate new layouts within the app and download them as a PDF with an active QR Code.

Dindas isView® empowers builders and certifiers, offering a user-friendly and comprehensive solution for construction layout management.
