Cold-Formed Steel (CFS), also known as (Light Steel Framing) LSF software, has been a likely building material for a relatively short time compared with traditional materials such as wood. The products and the design process have evolved significantly in a short span of time. The structure of Cold Formed Steel has traditionally not been taught in schools, leaving design experts to figure out how to do this on the job.The software started in the form of an excel document. Over the last 25 years, it has developed into the leading CFS design software. So let us know some benefits of CFS design software:

Enhanced bidding

Bidding a job using the wrong stud sizes, clips, or connectors can quickly cut your profit or make the job fruitless altogether. Make sure you bid on jobs with 100% complete and correct information.

Reduced liability

Always make sure the steel framing you are designing is 100% authentic while avoiding over engineering and keeping your customers satisfied. Maintaining safety with cost savings is always a challenging process. Design the metal studs and other structural components too light by CFS software.

Save time in designing

Effortlessly calculate lateral loads by entering a project’s zip code and building shape. The plugin automatically computes lateral loads and can be instantly imported into the shear wall design module for designing X braced shear walls.

Shop drawing creation

Enhance your offerings as a Shop Drawing Engineer. The outcome of some BIM software for Cold Formed Steel, can automatically create shop drawings. That’s correct, since all the light steel framing details have been input into the program, it can deliver you all the detailed drawings for each building element with the click of a button.

If you have never used any CFS software, or if you are looking to try something new, in that case, you can visit us at Steel Smart. The Steel Smart Structural Design provides construction professionals with structural framing software tools for quick and precise design and detailing of light steel framing (LSF) studs and connectors.
