1.6 COMPUTER-AIDED ANALYSIS & DESIGN SOFTWARE

• In the field of Structural Engineering, computer-aided analysis and

design software play an important role to assist in the modeling, analysis,
design, and documentation of structures.

• They improve design quality and efficiency through optimization, which

is time-consuming by hand calculation.

• They also mobilize communication through quick documentation.

Some Renowned Computer Aided Analysis and Design Software

EATBS Staad Pro MIDAS Autodesk ROBOT SAP 2000

Tekla Structural Designer Porta Structure

Most of the commonly available Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software has two main features:

 Graphical User Interface (GUI)  Programming Interface

In GUI, users interact with the computer The programming interface requires users to code
through different windows, icons and menus to interact with the computer and requires a certain
and which can be manipulated by a mouse. degree of expertise in the programming language.

1.7 INTRODUCING TO ETABS

Welcome to ETABS

• ETABS is a popular FEA software among Civil Engineers with the main focus on Graphical
User interfaces.
• ETABS stands for Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building Structure.
• As it can be used without the requirement to code, it can be easily used by users who are not
familiar with coding.
• ETABS is suitable for analysis and designing multi-storied buildings and its different parts
such as beams, columns, slabs and so on.
• ETABS can also handle the largest and most complex building models including a wide
range of nonlinear behaviors necessary for performance-based design, making it the tool
of choice for structural engineers in building history.
• ETABS is developed by Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI)
• It is used for more than 40 years.
