THE SPINE MINDSET
“Less time on repetition.
More time for better engineering.”
Make room for a closer look.
A clearer workflow creates space for careful review and considered design.
Build momentum into your day.
Keep analysis, design and delivery moving through one focused workbench.
THE SPINE WORKFLOW
From model results
to engineering decisions.
Choose your tools, investigate the results and carry the reviewed information into detailing and reporting.
01 / STABILITY
Understand how the structure responds.
Bring drift, stiffness and irregularity checks together. Start with the question you need to resolve.
Seismic Story Drift · Wind Story Drift · Wind Gust Factor · Torsional Irregularity · Stability Index · Story Stiffness
REVIEW
Find the governing stories.
Torsional Irregularity places directional ratios and classifications beside the story results, helping you focus the review.
02 / DESIGN
Move from demand to detail.
Review members and foundations in one workbench, with dedicated tools for reinforcement, capacity checks and detailing.
Beam Design & Detailing · Beam Detailing Review · Piles Manager & Optimizer · Pier Failure Review · Column Manager · Column Effective Length · Isolated Footing
BEAMS
Keep the plan and the reinforcement connected.
Read selected ETABS beams, inspect their demands and develop reinforcement detailing with member locations in view.
DETAILING
Review the information behind each member.
Move into the detailing table to inspect reinforcement selections and coordinate the next stage of delivery.
PILES
Locate the piles that need attention.
Read SAFE reactions and compare them with entered capacities. The plan connects governing checks to their locations.
Shown: 375 joints, ENV-GWS. Assumed compression 8–12 MN; tension ⅓ compression; length 18–24 m.
03 / ASSISTANCE
Keep model preparation moving.
Prepare model information, investigate warnings and coordinate data exchanges with tools built for these everyday tasks.
SAFE Load Pattern Assignment · Footing Sizer · Slab Reinforcement Import · Intelligent Slab Mesher · ETABS Warning Review · Wall Grid & Elevation Generator · spColumn Export · Pier & Spandrel Label Generator
COORDINATE
Prepare the next section review.
In spColumn Export, classify the ETABS load cases before preparing a supported column or wall-pier transfer.
REPORT
Make the review easy to follow.
Structured reports bring the calculation basis, result tables and check summaries into a clear engineering record.
