SAFE
Structural software from CSI dedicated to the analysis and design of reinforced and post-tensioned concrete floor slabs and foundations — from framing layout through to detail drawing production, in one integrated environment.
Purpose-built for slabs and foundations.
SAFE integrates modelling, analysis, design, detailing, and reporting into a single, intuitive environment for floor and foundation systems.
Any slab or foundation shape
Model flat, two-way, waffle, or ribbed slabs with circular or curved edges, drawn directly or imported from CAD.
SAPFire analysis engine
The same trusted 64-bit solver technology used across CSI's structural engineering software.
Foundations, basemats & footings
Model soil supports with uplift analysis, plus pedestals, walls, columns, beams, and piles.
Punching shear & beam detailing
Automated punching-shear checks and beam design integrated directly into the slab model.
Interoperability with ETABS
Import models, loading, and displacement fields from ETABS or SAP2000 for detailed local slab assessment.
Code-based design & reporting
Design against major international codes, with detailed customisable output reports.
SAFE is available in two editions.
Choose Standard for reinforced-concrete slab and foundation design, or step up to Post-Tensioning for full PT tendon design capability.

Processor
Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64
Recommended: 9th generation Intel Core i5/i7/i9, AMD Ryzen 5/7/9 with Zen 2 architecture, or better desktop CPU
A 64-bit CPU is required.
Operating System
Microsoft® Windows 8.1 or Microsoft® Windows 10
64-bit processor
Video Card
Minimum: Supporting 1024 by 768 resolution and 16-bit colors for standard (GDI+) graphics mode
Recommended: Discrete video card with NVIDIA GPU or equivalent and dedicated graphics RAM (512 MB or larger) for DirectX graphics mode. The card must be DirectX 11 compatible.
DirectX graphics mode fully utilises the hardware acceleration provided by a GPU and dedicated graphics RAM. For better graphics quality in terms of anti-aliasing and line thickness, the device raster drawing capabilities should support legacy depth bias.
Memory
Minimum: 8 GB RAM
The problem size that can be solved, and the speed of solution and response recovery, increase considerably with more RAM.
Disk Space
6 GB to install the software.
Additional space will be required for running and storing model files and analysis results, depending on the size of the models.
Recommended: 500 GB or larger PCIe Solid State Drive (SSD). External and network drives are not recommended.
