STEEL
CALCULATOR™
The SAFI STEEL CALCULATOR™ allows to quickly verify, design and optimize steel beams and columns. It is also an efficient validation tool to verify design results of specific elements of complex models.
NO COMMITMENT. NO RECURRING FEES.
POWERFUL FEATURES
Powerful tool allowing users to verify, design and optimize steel beams and columns.
Efficient validation
Efficient validation tool to verify design results of specific elements of complex models.
EASY-TO-USE
Intuitive and easy-to-use engineering tool featuring automatic selection of sections.
STEEL CALCULATOR™
The SAFI STEEL CALCULATOR™ allows users to verify and optimize single and continuous beams and columns. The use of the Steel Calculator does not necessitate the input of an analysis model (joints, members and combined loads). These operations are automated.
This engineering tool allows to verify or optimize any standard section available in the SAFI databases according to the American LRFD and ASD standards, the Canadian S16 standard, the European Eurocode 3 and the Indian IS 800.
It is an efficient validation tool to verify design results of specific elements of complex models. Design optimization and automatic section selection features make economic and quality steel structures a reality.
The SAFI STEEL CALCULATOR™ is used as a standalone application or in combination with the GSE STEEL program, part of the GSE (General Structural Engineering) software.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Users can select an appropriate model from the numerous available ones provided with the SAFI STEEL CALCULATOR™. The input data consist of selecting a section shape and defining the basic loads, the design parameters and the geometric limits.
The results of the Steel Calculator are summarized for each member and displayed on the screen, detailed reports are also available.
The Steel Calculator™ can rapidly perform the computations for continuous beams and columns to carry one of the following tasks:
– Verification of the limit states design. A summary and a full analysis and verification report are available.
– Optimization according to weight in an attempt to find the best section. A summary and a full analysis and verification report are available.
– All sections results, which is a table to present the behavior of the model for every section in the databases. The best section is indeed included in this table.

The steel standards with which the verification and optimization calculations are made must be selected.
Users must define the combined loads for verification and design computations. The combined loads are automatically generated with the Steel Calculator™.
