Slab properties

Slab properties

Slab properties

(OP)

Hi everyone,

I am an absolute new user to SAFE and I am encountering a very basic issue while defining slab properties.

In the slab property data window, I could see only two options - NO DESIGN and ORTHOTROPIC.

In all the tutorials I could find, it seems that I should click on THICK PLATE option in the slab properties data which is not visible to me.

Can someone help please.

Regards,

GH

RE: Slab properties

just opened my SAFE 2014 and I could choose the THICK PLATE option. What version are you using??

RE: Slab properties

It appears to me that in elder versions SAFE had the options to exclude from design footing of your choice to save time and computer resources. Now (see attached picture) there is no "No design" check mark

Here is an extract from a forum: related.
I am modeling an existing slab with extensive cracking in one direction and I would like to input one slab thickness for the X direction and a different thickness in the Y direction — is this possible?
Sure – when defining the slab properties, check the Orthotropic checkbox on the Slab Property Data form. This will allow you to specify effective thicknesses in both the X and Y directions, as well as an effective thickness for twisting moments.

White Paper - How ESI is Helping Move New Medical Device Product to Market Quicker & More Cost Effic
Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines. This white paper will discuss many facets of ESI, including why it’s so valuable today, what challenges limit the benefits of ESI, how cost is impacted, and more. Download Now
White Paper - Moving to a Driverless Future
This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.

Research Report - How Engineers are Using Remote Access
Remote access enables engineers to work from anywhere provided they have an internet connection. We surveyed our audience of engineers, designers and product managers to learn how they use remote access within their organizations. We wanted to know which industries have adopted remote access, which software they are using, and what features matter most. Download Now
