ETABS tutorial |
This manual presents a set of simple building systems that have been analyzed using ETABS Version 8. The examples demonstrate some of the analytical capabilities of the ETABS system. For purposes of verification, key results produced by ETABS are compared to independent sources, such as hand calculated results, theoretical or published results, or results obtained from other structural/finite element programs that are verified not using ETABS. The examples cover each type of element, static and dynamic analysis and linear and nonlinear options. |

There are different software packages used in Civil Engineering. Some of them are mainly for drawing while others are for analysis. Among others AUTOCAD and Chief Architect may be mentioned as a popular software packages mainly used for drawing. For structural analysis, ETABS, SAFE , STAAD, and SAP2000 are popular. Each one has its own peculiar features.For example while ETABS is best for frame analysis of high building, SAFE is is for slab or foundation analysis. Our first tutorial would be on Introduction to ETABS. |
