thank you dear @Muhammed.OPERA

No , my question is about ( design strip method ) ,, its a method for hand calculation designing in slabs , its also use in etabs and safe ,

but maybe have not available in robot , may it use finite element method ,

There is no such technique in Robot like SAFE. Strips are only for exploring results through s determined section in the slab.

Hi @Anonymous,

The strip method in SAFE is same as the wood and armer method using by Robot to design the slab and it is recomended to use wood and armer method for the design of slab and finite element method for design of Wall Element.

is there any other way?
Because the panel cut is calculation 1m, but ACI design strip with width on each side of a column equal 0.25l
