Give your time a better purpose.
Put repetitive steps in their place. Keep your attention on the decisions that matter.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING WORKBENCH
From model results
to reviewed detail.
SPINE connects structural engineers with their ETABS and SAFE models for stability checks, member design review and reinforcement detailing.

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.
BEFORE YOU START
System requirements
SPINE is a Windows desktop application. Install the host software needed by your chosen tools.
| Platform | Windows PC running x64 desktop applications. Administrator access is required for installation. |
|---|---|
| Processor & memory | Meet the requirements of your ETABS or SAFE version and the size of the models you use. |
| Storage | Allow 1 GB free space for SPINE installation and temporary files, plus space for models and outputs. |
| Model connections | Licensed ETABS or SAFE installation with its API available, depending on the tool. Walkthroughs use version 22.7. |
| Internet & subscription | An active SPINE subscription and internet access for sign-in and continuing license verification. |
| PDF reports | Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome installed in its standard location. |
| Python runtime | Included with the installer. A separate Python installation is not required. |
ETABS and SAFE have their own hardware and licensing requirements. Confirm compatibility before using other host-software versions.

GET STARTED & GET HELP
A clear start.
Support when you need it.
Install, activate and connect your first model.
Set up the workbench.
Download the Windows installer and run Setup with administrator access.
Installer & release notes ↗Enable your access.
Copy the Machine ID from SPINE's sign-in dialog. Redeem your promo code, then sign in with the same email.
Open your model.
Start ETABS or SAFE, open your model, then choose the matching session in your SPINE tool and select Attach.
Check requirements ↗Common questions
My ETABS or SAFE model is not detected.+
Open the host application and load the model first. Run SPINE and the host at the same Windows privilege level, then select Detect and choose the correct session. The host API must be installed and available.
A tool is locked or sign-in fails.+
Check your internet connection and sign in with the email used for activation. Normal includes Stability tools; Design and Assistance require Professional. SPINE keeps sign-in and Copy Machine ID available when access is unavailable.
The tool has no results to display.+
Confirm that the host model has the results required by the tool. Select the relevant members where required, then use Read, Pull Data or Refresh. Attaching to a model alone does not import its results.
A PDF report does not export.+
Check that Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome is installed in a standard location. Choose a writable output folder and close any existing copy of the report before exporting again.
