SAFE is the ultimate tool for designing concrete floor and foundation systems. From framing layout all the way through to detail drawing production, SAFE integrates every aspect of the engineering design process in one easy and intuitive environment. SAFE provides unmatched benefits to the engineer with its truly unique combination of power, comprehensive capabilities, and ease-of-use. Laying out models is quick and efficient with the sophisticated drawing tools, or use one of the import options to bring in data from CAD, spreadsheet, or database programs. Slabs or foundations can be of any shape, and can include edges shaped with circular and spline curves. Post-tensioning may be included in both slabs and beams to balance a percentage of the self-weight. Suspended slabs can include flat, two-way, waffle, and ribbed framing systems. Models can have columns, braces, walls, and ramps connected from the floors above and below. Walls can be modeled as either straight or curved. Mats and foundations can include nonlinear uplift from the soil springs, and a nonlinear cracked analysis is available for slabs. Generating pattern surface loads is easily done by SAFE with an automated option. Design strips can be generated by SAFE or drawn in a completely arbitrary manner by the user, with complete control provided for locating and sizing the calculated reinforcement. Finite element design without strips is also available and useful for slabs with complex geometries. Comprehensive and customizable reports are available for all analysis and design results. Detailed plans, sections, elevations, schedules, and tables may be generated, viewed, and printed from within SAFE or exported to CAD packages. SAFE provides an immensely capable yet easy-to-use program for structural designers, provideing the only tool necessary for the modeling, analysis, design, and detailing of concrete slab systems and foundations. Graphical User Interface SAFE offers a single user interface to perform: Modeling, Analysis, Design, Detailing and Reporting. A model explorer is available for quick access to objects, properties and forms. Users can have up to 4 simultaneous display windows open. Model Explorer Define, duplicate, and modify properties Drag and drop assignment to model Display and set default displays Save and recover user-defined displays Review detailing views and drawings Print and export drawings and views Horizon Graph Paper Graph paper horizon aids drawing model Graph is to scale Graph scale adjusts to optimal scale when zooming Horizon can be switched off after drawing User Coordinate System UCS acts like a new coordinate system Intelligent snaps based on UCS Coordinates based on UCS when UCS is active Toggle between UCS and other coordinate systems
