FOUNDA MATE |
Foundation and SLAB Detailing SOFTWARE
Professional Foundation & Concrete Slab Detailing Software for SAFE ResultsGenerate, review and edit foundation reinforcement details, structural drawings and rebar schedules directly from SAFE analysis and design results. FOUNDA MATE® is professional foundation detailing software focused on reinforced concrete foundations and concrete slab detailing. It transforms SAFE model information and design results into detailed reinforcement information and AutoCAD-compatible structural drawings, while giving engineers control over reinforcement detailing before final drawing production. Key AdvantagesA practical foundation and concrete slab detailing workflow combining reinforcement control, optimization and AutoCAD-compatible drawing production. Very High SpeedProcess foundation reinforcement information rapidly and generate structural drawing outputs in seconds. SAFE-Based DetailingImport SAFE model geometry and design results and use them as the basis for foundation reinforcement detailing. Reinforcement OptimizationUse the economic optimization algorithm to develop efficient reinforcement layouts from steel area diagram. Flexible Strip DetailingSupport angular and poly-line broken design strips with configurable typical and additional reinforcement details. AutoCAD-Compatible DrawingsGenerate editable foundation structural drawings in AutoCAD DWG format with organized reinforcement information. FOUNDA MATE WorkflowFOUNDA MATE bridges the gap between SAFE analysis and final foundation structural drawing production in a simple, controlled workflow, with support for concrete slab detailing.

Drawing Preview & EditingPreview computed details and edit reinforcement information before generating final structural drawings. Full Editing ControlFOUNDA MATE® gives engineers direct control over foundation reinforcement details and the resulting structural drawing output.
Economic Reinforcement OptimizationFOUNDA MATE® uses an configurable economic reinforcement optimization algorithm.
FOUNDA MATE® uses a configurable economic reinforcement optimization
algorithm based on calculated steel area diagram. The optimization
process determines efficient reinforcement quantities and cut-off
locations, helping engineers reduce unnecessary reinforcement and
achieve more economical foundation detailing while satisfying the
required steel areas.

Explore FOUNDA MATE®Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is foundation detailing software?Foundation detailing software helps engineers transform foundation analysis and design information into reinforcement details, structural drawings and rebar schedules. FOUNDA MATE® is focused on foundation detailing using SAFE analysis and design results and also supports concrete slab detailing. Can FOUNDA MATE® generate foundation drawings from SAFE results?Yes. FOUNDA MATE® imports model geometry and design results from SAFE, allows foundation reinforcement details to be reviewed and adjusted, and generates foundation structural drawings in AutoCAD DWG format. The workflow also supports concrete slab detailing. What foundation reinforcement details can FOUNDA MATE® generate?FOUNDA MATE® generates foundation top and bottom additional reinforcement details, foundation transverse sections, column sections and organized rebar information. Concrete slab reinforcement detailing is also supported. Does FOUNDA MATE® support SAFE design strips?Yes. FOUNDA MATE® supports angular design strips and poly-line broken design strips and can display required and additional steel area information for design-strip reinforcement detailing. Can FOUNDA MATE® optimize foundation reinforcement?Yes. FOUNDA MATE® includes an economic reinforcement optimization algorithm based on the shape of the steel area diagram. The software documentation states that its optimization algorithms can reduce additional steel consumption by up to 20%. Can foundation reinforcement details be edited before drawings are generated?Yes. FOUNDA MATE® allows reinforcement design details and section properties to be adjusted before structural drawings are generated, and generated drawings can also be edited. How are beam, column and shear wall detailing performed?Beam, column and shear wall detailing is performed using ETABS MATE®, which converts ETABS analysis and design results into detailed reinforcement information, structural drawings and rebar schedules. The detailing can be reviewed and edited before final drawing generation.
