CSI SAFE 22.5.0 (3013)

Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) is pleased to announce the availability of SAFE 22.5.0. This update adds composite beam design according to CSA S16:2024, as well as improvements to the area spring property definition.

SAFE 22.5.0 Enhancements - Date: 18-Feb-2025


Structural Model
Area spring properties now allow specification of spring stiffness in the local 1 and 2 directions, in addition to the local 3 direction that was previously available



Design
Composite beam design according to CSA S16:2024 is now available.


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.
