performs the calculations of reinforced concrete buildings in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia
environment and has been used in Hong Kong for more than 20 years.
Since SADS came out, it has been constantly improved and upgraded, according to the actual
encountered problems we met and the comments of structural and computer professional
experts. Therefore, it is no doubt that SADS is a proven professional software package in Hong
Kong.
SADS calculates the reinforced concrete by matching information the user provided with
information contained in SADS databases. The user provides the value of structural requirement
about the building and SADS provides the optimization calculation technique, then SADS
combines these two sources of information to calculate the reinforced concrete in the buildings.
SADS adopts a database system to integrate all the data which are supplied by the user and the
intermediate results which are obtained from SADS as a whole database. This database can be
used in any module inside SADS whenever they need and can be retrieved automatically by each
module wherever required. The user does not need to repeat the executions of inputting data in
each module of SADS, hence the preparation time is shortened and the risk of making mistakes
SADS provides the "validate" function in the corresponding module, to assist the user easily find
SADS enables the user to view graphically about the beam sketch, column section, wall section,
frame sketch, etc., to show whether the results of the data provided by the user is accurate and
allows the user to edit the reinforced bar for some requirements.
SADS provides the whole solution of the calculation of reinforced concrete inside the building, all
computer output like reports, calculation results and graphical presentations are designed to fit
SADS allows the user to modify all the existing data. If the architectural plan and loading of the
building are changed for some requirement, the user simply makes the corresponding changes,
SADS can retrieve all the new amended data combines with the old input data accurately to
file (MDB) of ETABS, users may use this data generator to generate floor data, batch data, slab
data, beam data, column data, wall data and lintel data.
SADS provides the ETABS interface program to link between the output file of ETABS to SADS
database. The users may use the output file of ETABS to import the force data to SADS
database. Also, after running pre-design of beams, columns, walls and lintels in SADS, the users
may use the updated sections of beams, columns, walls and lintels to amend the input file of
SADS had a series of drawing interface programs -- BDIP, CDIP and SDIP, they are tailor-made
for SADS, to assist the SADS user accomplish the beam drawing, column drawing and slab
drawing, that turns your SADS into a powerful tool for your business.
