SAFI 结构设计软件介绍（About SAFI）

SAFI是加拿大SAFI Quality Software Inc.开发的一款结构分析软件，广泛应用于各类结构计算分析，例如钢结构分析、混凝土结构分析、铝制框架结构分析、桥梁结构分析、木质框架结构分析、塔架结构分析及石油钻采结构分析等，可以自动完成加载、计算、校核等工作；完全能够满足风、流、雪、地震等各种载荷的加载和计算。SAFI采用图形用户交互方式建立模型，然后加载运算，所有工作均在同一界面内完成，最终自动生成计算报告。目前SAFI已广泛应于用建筑、桥梁、塔架及石油行业。

Analysis Type ：
• 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

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.

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
