SteelSmart® System - Light Steel Framing Design Made Easy

The SteelSmart® System 6 (SSS) provides construction professionals with an essential software tool engineered for both fast and accurate design results, as well as presenting them with the budgeting calculations necessary for light steel framing. SSS 6 raises the bar for light steel framing analysis and design by seamlessly integrating the well-known analytic power of its predecessors with additional degrees of functionality and accessibility.

Available as a complete suite, SteelSmart System Software will streamline production through the design and detailing of members, connections, and fasteners.

SteelSmart System incudes modules for:

  • Curtain wall
  • Load bearing wall
  • X-brace shear wall
  • Roof truss
  • Roof joist
  • Floor framing
  • Moment-resisting short wall

SteelSmart® Deck - The Evolution of Deck Design

SteelSmart® Deck Software (SSD) is a powerful step forward in the evolving generation of software applications aimed at a full automation of the process of deck system design. Combining the latest in deck software technology with the versatility and strength of cold formed steel, SSD provides both homeowners and professionals alike with a simplified tool for taking their designs to the next level.

SteelSmart Deck Software is loaded with powerful features and functions, seamlessly integrated to make deck system designing an easy, straightforward process.

  • Export CAD drawings of the deck design.
  • Save deck layouts for convenient recall.
  • Select & customize color layouts quickly and easily with just a few clicks of the mouse.
  • View real-time updates in the sub-structure with each change of the deck configuration.
  • "3D-Anytime” function allows for immediate 3D views of a deck whenever a change is made.
  • Unlimited multiple levels and real-time elevation adjustments.
  • Review and print project reports during any stage of the design.
  • Create and view a materials/cut list.
  • Add or remove stairs with an intuitive stair tool.
  • Add railings, tree cut-outs, and other modifications.

SteelSmart Deck Software is available at no charge for the layout of any deck, providing an engineered steel materials list in a user-friendly interface.

Applied Science International - Advanced Structural Engineering Services

TSN has worked closely with Applied Science International, LLC (ASI) in developing its proprietary Extreme Loading® for Structures (ELS), an advanced 3D nonlinear structural analysis software. With ELS, ASI engineers to take a performance based design approach to building design that considers the entire structural system, not just individual structural components or connections. Engineers are able to easily model new or existing structures with all “as built” details including light gauge steel, structural steel, columns, girder, pre/post tensioned cables, slabs, and complete reinforcement details. They are then able to apply such extreme loads such as blast, high wind, seismic events or progressive collapse structure. This performance based approach to structural design allows for significant cost savings in final the structural design while streamlining workflow for such an advanced nonlinear analysis. Reduced structural cost not only eliminates cost on the project but can increase speed of construction as well as result in additional LEED points.
