    SAFE ANALYSIS  
    SAFE is available in two different levels: SAFE and SAFE P/T. All features are available in both levels except those specific to the Post-Tensioned level, designated with a (PT) after the feature name.
 
   


LOADING
• Area, Line, and Point Loading
• Loads can Vary Linearly in One or Two Directions
• Point Displacement Loading
• Automated Pattern Loading Based on Panels
• Tendon Forces Converted to Loads (PT)
• Automated Prestress Loss Calculations (PT)
• Lateral Loads (Wind and Seismic) can be Considered
• Response Spectrum Analysis Based on Loads and Modes Imported from ETABS
• Unlimited Load Cases and Combinations
• Automated Double-Valued Range Combinations for Pattern Loads

LINEAR
