Extended Three Dimensional Analysis and Design of Building Systems
most important feature of the analytical program are:
understanding the elements of the building and floors
automatic calculation of mass and center of mass
transfer loads from the floor to the beams
the production and distribution of the lateral loads between the alignment classes
modeling, finite element, shell, and
the capabilities of the design program also includes the following things:
the design of the steel frame
frame design, concrete
the design of shear walls
the design of beams, compound.
In addition to capabilities analysis and design of the above program ETABS two-way communication complete with the other software suites. Program ETABS automatically file input SAFE it creates. Also, the program ETABS capabilities to create the input file SAP2000.
