E.TABS

The innovative and revolutionary new ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings. Incorporating 40 years of continuous research and development, this latest ETABS offers unmatched 3D object-based modeling and visualization tools, blazingly fast linear and nonlinear analytical power, sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide-range of materials, and insightful graphic displays, reports, and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results.

From the start of design conception through the production of schematic drawings, ETABS integrates every aspect of the engineering design process.

Creation of models has never been easier - intuitive drawing commands allow for the rapid generation of floor and elevation framing. CAD drawings can be converted directly into ETABS models or used as templates onto which ETABS objects may be overlaid. 

Design of steel and concrete frames (with automated optimization), composite beams, composite columns, steel joists, and concrete and masonry shear walls is included, as is the capacity check for steel connections and base plates. Models may be realistically rendered, and all results can be shown directly on the structure.

Comprehensive and customizable reports are available for all analysis and design output, and schematic construction drawings of framing plans, schedules, details, and cross-sections may be generated for concrete and steel structures.

ETABS provides an unequalled suite of tools for structural engineers designing buildings, whether they are working on one-story industrial structures or the tallest commercial high-rises.

Immensely capable, yet easy-to-use, has been the hallmark of ETABS since its introduction decades ago, and this latest release continues that tradition by providing engineers with the technologically-advanced, yet intuitive, software they require to be their most productive.

Course Objectives:

• The course will cover all the steps involved in structural analysis & designing of concrete & steel. 
• Some of the features that we focus in training include: 
• Modeling: How to create models in less time and interpret the results while working with the physical member based objects.
• Concrete Frame Design & Detailing: Applicable to line objects and the program determines the appropriate design procedure when the analysis is run.
• Steel Frame Design & Detailing: How to detail steel member selection, drift optimization and stress checking processes using various design code algorithms.
• Steel Connection Design: Design of steel connections is seamlessly integrated into the program.
• Composite Beam: To composite beams for determining their sizes for analysis, auto select-section property can be defined.
• Dynamic Analysis: Various options from response spectrum analysis to large deformation nonlinear time analysis.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Student will easily create models using objects and can understand the concepts when editing and creating complex models.
• Student will be able to recognize story levels and be able to input building data in a logical and easy manner.
• Student will have the ability to work with people spanning in different disciplines with productive, innovative, and communicative skills.
• Student will create only one model of the floor systems and the vertical and lateral framing systems to be able to analyze and design the entire building due to the integrated system of ETABS.
• Student can keep their design data and design intellectual property in graphics, or tabular form or send it to a printer or export it to a database file or even save it as an ASCII file and manage them in a safe, centralized place. Student can let their team collaborate with them at any stage of product development.
