22.2.0_SAF_various_spring_prop
The following enhancements of the various spring properties definitions have been added:
- • Linear, Gap, Hook, and Multi-linear Elastic link properties are now available in the program for use in specification of spring properties.
- • It’s now possible to directly specify nonlinearity for point springs, or to base the nonlinearity on an existing Link property.
- • For line and area spring properties, spring stiffness and nonlinearity can now be either directly entered by the user or based on an existing Link property.
Design
22.2.0_SAF_comp_beam_design_IS11384_BG50017
Composite Beam Design codes have been added for the Indian IS 11384:2022 and the Chinese GB50017 codes.

22.0.0_SAF_offset_joint_assignment
An enhancement was made to show the effects of joint offset assignments for slabs (when shown in an extruded view). Joint offsets can be assigned using the command Assign > Shell > Insertion Point. The effect of the cardinal point was previously included in extruded views, but not the additional joint offsets.

The SAFE API has been updated to support .NET 8.
User Interface
21.2.0_SAF_drawing_linear_tendon
An enhancement has been implemented to allow drawing a linear tendon throughout between two points. Two options are now available in the Drawing Properties window for the vertical profile when drawing a tendon: Linear Throughout and Program Determined (current default).
Cloud Sign-in Licensing
21.2.0_SAF_cloud_sign_in_lic
Cloud Sign-in licensing is now available
- • Access CSI software using secure user credentials — no more activation keys
- • Access licenses anywhere with internet access
- • Option to create License Groups to manage who has access to your licenses
- • Option to remotely terminate an active license session
- • Option to federate your identity provider (IdP), allowing users to user their familiar company credentials instead

21.1.0_SAF_snap_only
An enhancement has been implemented to allow drawing of objects in the graphical user interface using a snap-only option. When enabled, objects may be drawn only if the cursor snaps to an item, which can be used in combination with various snap options to accurately control placement of objects.
Output and Display
21.1.0_SAF_speed_up_display_strip_forces
An enhancement has been made to speed up display of strip forces, strip-force tables, and concrete slab design on models with many load combinations.

Application Programming Interface (API)
20.3.0_SAF_api_multiple_instances
- • The client can attach to any running instance of SAFE given its process ID.
- • A new command "Set as active instance for API" has been added to the Tools menu.
- • A new interface cPluginContract has been added to simplify plugin development.
- • Speed has been improved for external .NET clients that call the API by chaining properties and methods in deeply nested loops.
