ADAPT Builder vs. SAFE V12 PT

ADAPT Builder vs. SAFE V12 PT

ADAPT Builder vs. SAFE V12 PT

(OP)
Our company is looking to purchase a 3D PT modeler. We currently have 2D ADAPT-PT and SAFE V8 and are happy with both of them. We have sat through 3 online demonstrations (2 from ADAPT and 1 from SAFE) showing the capabilities of each program. They both seem pretty similar and both are going to require us to learn a new interface.

We are going to get SAFE V12 for foundation design so it's whether we get the PT add-on or go with a whole new program for PT. SAFE PT add-on would be about 1/2 the cost of ADAPT so it's pretty significant. We would also already be learning the interface of SAFE.

Does anyone have any pros/cons, experiences, or recommendations on either program?

Thanks.  

RE: ADAPT Builder vs. SAFE V12 PT

Rather than sit througha canned dem, give them a real life problem that you know the answer to, and watch and see how long it takes them, and what the results are like.

When they fail, give them a couple of weeks to work on it and then repeat the exercise.

You will learn many things.

 

Cheers
