    SAFE ANALYSIS  
   


• Slabs and Foundations Modeled with Area Objects
• Beams Drawn as Members – Automatically Meshed into Elements
• Orthotropic Bending
• Thin Plate Behavior for Suspended Slabs
• Thick Plate Foundations with Shear Deformation
• Beams with Flexural, Shear and Torsional Deformations
• Column, Wall or Soil Supports
• Applied Loads & Moments
• Thickness Variations, Drop Panels and Openings
• Stiffness Effects of Walls
• Automated Cracked Property Calculations
• Nonlinear No-Tension Soil Model
• Slab Discontinuities Due to Construction Joints or Elevation Changes
• Automatic Meshing with Fast Equation Solvers
• Multiple Load Cases
• Area, Line and Point Loading Anywhere on the Slab

CRACKED SLABS
• Direction Specific Thicknesses to Account for Reduced Sections
• Automatic Reanalysis for Cracked Condition
• Cracked Properties Based on Reinforcing Design

FOUNDATION UPLIFT
• Nonlinear No-Tension Soil Model for Uplift
• Variations in Soil Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
• Model May Include Both Design and Analysis Load Combinations
• Overturning Analysis for Footings and Mats
