Transcription

1 SAFI 3D is a robust and reliable structural software designed with the latest technological innovations in its field and is equipped with a sophisticated, ergonomic and user friendly graphical user interface. SAFI 3D is the core analysis program for the vast structural design applications of SAFI represented by the SAFI level one, level two and level three structural technologies. Level one includes the structural calculators, level two includes the various design applications and the third level is dedicated to the new and advanced technologies such as the Virtual Steel Buildings. SAFI meets the structural engineers analysis and design requirements for almost all types of structures. It is also the software of choice for teaching at colleges and universities laboratories because of its simplicity and its robustness. Why SAFI? The engineer who learns SAFI 3D software is a large step ahead towards mastering the various applications of SAFI in the fields of structural verifications, evaluations and design of almost all types of structures. Among SAFI applications we can find: SAFI Steel SAFI Concrete SAFI Aluminum SAFI Highway Sign Structures SAFI Bridge SAFI Steel and Wood Bridges SAFI Pre-tension SAFI Tower SAFI Tubular SAFI Steel Calculator SAFI Concrete Calculator SAFI Footing Calculator Potential users : Structural engineers Technicians and estimators Architects Infrastructures specialists Electrical utilities and telecommunications Fabricators and industrial outlets Municipalities Governmental and military institutions Academic institutions colleges and universities

2 Analysis Features Linear first order analysis Linear second order (P-Delta) analysis Geometric non linear analysis Buckling analysis Modal analysis (frequency domain analysis) with consistent or lumped mass matrix. Linear spectral and time history seismic analysis Time history dynamic analysis Technical specifications Used for simple 2D models or very complex 3D models for all types of structures Steel, concrete, aluminum, wood and composite members Tension only and compression only members and springs Physical elements concept to group different elements Three and four nodes finite element plates and shells with or without transverse shear Rotation of members around their longitudinal axe Fixed, pinned and partial end moment releases Spring supports with releases Inclined supports, springs and imposed displacements Local coordinate systems Global or local support reactions Surfaces can be used for load transfer and self-weight calculation Surfaces can be used to simulate diaphragm effects Standard and custom materials

3 Technical specifications Extensive profile types and libraries : - Standard sections (CISC, AISC and European). - Custom section libraries. - Non-standard sections (over 30 shapes available). - Truss and pre-tensioned cable sections. - User defined section properties. - AASHTO, NEBT and customized precast sections are available with SAFI Pre-Tension. - Composite sections are available with SAFI Steel. Automatic model generators for trusses and super elements. Metric, imperial and mixed units systems are allowed and can be modified at any time. Reports are printed according to any unit system. Problem size limited only to the physical capacity of the computer. Available in English and French. Comprehensive manuals and online helps. Loads Loading for joints, members including concentrated, uniform, trapezoidal and thermal loads. Pressure or concentrated floor loads with two-way, one-way and truss distribution using triangular or quadrilateral surfaces. Pressure or concentrated loads on finite element plates. Gravity loads in any global direction calculated by the program. Imposed displacements at any joint. Moving loads are implemented in the SAFI Bridge program. User defined load combinations. Load combination wizard which generates load combinations according to NBCC, UBC, ASCE 7, BOCA, Eurocode and ECC. Load combination wizard also allows to create load patterns.

4 Seismic and Dynamic Analysis Automated simplified method of the building codes (NBCC and IBC). Seismic response spectrum, seismic time-history and dynamic time-history analysis. Customized response spectrums and accelerograms. Fully customizable analysis parameters. Maximal response using CQC and SRSS methods. Automated or user defined damping. Graphical display of response spectrums and accelerograms. User defined incidence angle of seismic loads and vertical components. Customized analysis and output time steps. Time refined results can be provided for selected parts of the models. Automated or custom determination of the signs of deformations provided by the maximum response methods. Additional masses can be added to the model by way of static loads. Seismic loads (spectrum or accelerogram) and dynamic loads (sinusoidal, general load functions and random load functions). Multiple seismic and dynamic loads can be combined together in a single analysis. Base shear calibration according to the selected building code. Possibility to define several seismic loads and account for eccentricities between the center of stiffness and the center of mass. Graphical display of the center of stiffness and the center of mass and seismic forces at floors. Account for accidental eccentricities. Account for the I, F and R coefficients of the NBCC and IBC code in spectral and time-history analysis.

5 Graphical User Interface Linear or circular lines of constructions for model creations. Automated commands for model creation such as move, rotate, extrude, copy, attach, subdivide and others. Models can be edited either graphically or by means of spreadsheets. Element can be created in batch or one by one. Elements of the models can be selected either graphically or according to a set of criterions. Persistent groups of selected objects can be created and edited graphically or by means of spreadsheets. Definition of physical members. Selection and edition of physical members. Definition of loading surfaces Multiple edition grids with user defined spacing, angles and labels. Powerful edition and automatic generation tools. Members can be subdivided in any number of equal segments or at specific positions. Similar connected members can be merged together. Elements of the structure can be renumbered according to several criterions. Element attributes can be set graphically or by means of spreadsheets (sections, analysis parameters, rotation angles, etc.). Element attributes can be edited in batch or element by element. Loads can be edited graphically or by means of spreadsheets. 3D solid display of all section shapes. Ultra fast 3D visualization in wire frame or solid modes. Customized display of all graphical objects. Partial model visualization. Results can be displayed on screen for the whole or a part of the structure. Results can be displayed for each element separately by means of graphics and numerical results spreadsheets. Results can be displayed for a set of elements by means of numerical results spreadsheets. Graphical display of seismic and dynamic analysis results. Contour lines for finite element plates with customized bounds.

6 Geometric Calculator Wizard based geometry generation. A large number of pre-defined frames. Over 30 pre-defined trusses Circular and parabolic arches Cylinders and cones composed of beams and/or plates Easy and productive model generation Data Exchange AutoCAD interface to import and export models by way of a DXF file The SDNF (Steel Detailing Neutral File) interface exports beams, columns and braces to SDNF compatible detailing softwares The KISS (Keep It Simple Steel) interface exports beams, columns and braces to KISS compatible estimation softwares If required, members subdivision and account for physical elements will be carried out automatically The solid view of the structure may also be exported when exporting to AutoCAD Reports Results can be visualized either graphically or numerically Input data and results may be printed for the whole structure or partial structures using a graphical selection or a range of elements Customized list of input data and results to be printed Reports are available in several formats including SAFI reports, Microsoft Excel worksheets, Microsoft Access databases and ASCII text files All graphics can be printed or copied to the clipboard for use in external programs SAFI, simply reliable since 1986 SAFI Quality Software Inc. 3393, Chemin Sainte-Foy, Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada G1X 1S7 Phone: (418) Canada and USA : Fax: (418) Web: info@safi.com
