QUESTION
I am a new user CSI SAFE. I have designed a flat slab using SAFE. Now I would like to export the safe model to ETABS to run the lateral. Meshing for the slabs and walls is already done in SAFE, so it is easy to run the analysis. But I don’t see the Import file format in ETABS where I can take it from SAFE?
I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me how to export SAFE file to ETABS.

The common way it is done is from ETABS to SAFE. The overall lateral analysis is done prior to designing the slabs. This way any lateral moments/shears on the slab will be captured.
