CSI SAFE 20.2.0.1919

Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) is pleased to announce the availability of SAFE 20.2.0.1919. This update includes the latest Canadian codes for composite beam design, enhanced control for cracked-deflection calculations, and other enhancements.

SAFE 20.2.0 Enhancements - Date: 31-Mar-2022

Design
The CSA S16-19 code has been added for composite beam design.


Structural Model
The age of concrete at which loading is applied can now be specified for long-term cracked-section analysis. Previously, the age at loading was assumed to be 7 days


Analysis
Analysis and design will now be automatically rerun if cracked short-term or long-term deflection analysis is requested and a previous design to determine the amount of required rebar is not available.


Graphics
Extruded views have been enhanced to show joint-offset overwrites for shell area objects.



SAFE is a software tailored for the engineering of elevated floor and foundation slab systems. Slab modeling, analysis, and design procedures feature a suite of sophisticated tools and applications, couple with post-tensioning, punching-shear, and beam detailing, and integrate the influence of soils, ramps, columns, braces, walls (rectilinear or curvilinear), and other interfacial elements. Interoperability with SAP2000 and ETABS allows users to import models, loading, and displacement fields into SAFE for more advanced local assessment of slab systems within larger structures.

A 3D-object-based model may originate in SAFE or import from SAP2000, ETABS, or CAD. Templates quickly initiate a model. Grid, snap, chamfer/fillet, trim/extend, circular- and spline-curve controls allow direct drawing of any slab shape. Replication tools streamline modeling for a series of unique slab systems, as was done with Studio Gang’s Aqua in Chicago, Illinois (Reid, Robert L. Chicago Tower’s ‘Wavelike’ Design Features Different Shapes For Every Floor. Civil Engineering Apr. 2007: 22). Up to four simultaneous display windows present the model. Interactive database editing presents definition tables in SAFE and Excel.

SAFE version 20.2.0 includes the latest Canadian codes for composite beam design, enhanced control for cracked-deflection calculations, and other enhancements.
