Features Of ETABS Structural Design Software

How we can advance the process of the construction industry and make it more effective? The answer lies in software that is designed to address the complexity of today’s engineering practices like ETABS. One of the types of engineering software, ETABS Structural Design Software is used in the construction industry and offers analysis of structure design, especially for multi-story buildings. The integrated system compromises modelling tools and templates, analysis methods, code-based load prescription, and solution strategies.

When it comes to finding the perfect software solution for structural analysis and building design, ETABS software works best. With the latest version of this software, you can use unparalleled 3D object-based modelling and visualisation tools and prepare reports, drawings, schedules, and more. This software also provides comprehensive design facilities for a wide range of options.

• One of the most powerful features of CSI ETABS Software is the identification of story levels. It allows you to define your models on a floor-by-floor, story-by-story basis, analogous to the way a designer works when laying out building drawings.
• In ETABS, you can define the grid as a Cartesian, cylindrical, or general free-form grid system with no limit.
•   It also provides a wide array of meshing tools. Pick the area object and apply the rules accordingly to use the automatic mesh generator.
• The ETABS model explorer helps you to manage your data and modify properties in groups. For quick navigation, there is a user-defined display with drag-and-drop properties.
• Multiple views such as moment diagrams, deflected shapes, load assignments, design output and reports all in a single screen.

Modelling

• ETABS provides a range of templates to start designing a new model and allows you to define grid and grid spacing.
• With this software, users can define physical and analytical models to make the design of a structure more effective

Loading

• In ETABS, you can generate and apply seismic and wind loads based on various domestic and international codes.
• With this software, uniform or non-uniform surface loads can be assigned in any direction, not just gravity.

There are a few features of ETABS Software, discussed above. When you start work on the software, you will find many more features to advance your structural design. It is a powerful tool for the structural analysis and design of buildings.
