Structural Analysis Format

Structural Analysis Format (SAF) is an Excel-based, open-source and global schema optimized for storing and sharing structural analytical model data.

SAF supports bi-directional collaboration between ARCHICAD and structural analysis apps. The structural analytical model of load-bearing elements in ARCHICAD can be used for analysis and design in external applications that use the finite element method (FEM).

For further information about the SAF schema and its detailed content, visit http://saf.guide/.
