ETABSFor nearly 30 years ETABS has been recognized as the industry standard for Building Analysis and Design Software.
ETABS is the solution, whether you are designing a simple 2D frame or performing a dynamic analysis of a complex high-rise that utilizes non-linear dampers for inter-story drift control.
ETABSKey Characteristics
A wide variety of automated templates allow a quick start for almost any building.
Fully integrated “Section Designer”module allows definition of complex sections.
Static and dynamic, linear and nonlinear analysis options.
Fully interactive design for American, Canadian and British design codes.

Assumption in ETABS
To avoid instabilities and to reduce computational demand, ETABS assume some ideal conditions.
These assumptions work in most cases but should be checked when dealing with special structures.
Rigid Floor Diaphragm
End Pier
P-delta Effect
A rigid diaphragm translates within its own plane (global X-Y plane) and rotates about an axis perpendicular to its own plane (global Z-axis) as a rigid body.
