Precedence now given to area springs applied through area objects with null properties. Option to model elasto-plastic behavior for point, line and area (soil) springs now available. 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. Finite element design without strips is also available and useful for slabs with complex geometries. 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. Generating pattern surface loads is easily done by SAFE with an automated option. Mats and foundations can include nonlinear uplift from the soil springs, and a nonlinear cracked analysis is available for slabs. Slabs or foundations can be of any shape, and can include edges shaped with circular and spline curves. 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. SAFE provides unmatched benefits to the engineer with its truly unique combination of power, comprehensive capabilities, and ease-of-use. 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 is the ultimate tool for designing concrete floor and foundation systems.
