THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR BUILDING DESIGN
The innovative and revolutionary new ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings.
SAPFire® Analysis Engine
CSI Solvers have been tried and tested by the industry for over 45 years. The SAPFire Analysis Engine can support multiple 64-bit solvers for analysis optimization and perform both eigen analysis and Ritz analysis. Parallelization options are available to take advantage of multiple processors.
Utilize Interactive Design Capabilities to Maximize Efficiency
Design of steel frames, concrete frames, concrete slabs, concrete shear walls, composite beams, composite columns and steel joists can be performed based on a variety of US and international design codes.
Interactive Database Editing
CSI software stores model data and other information in database tables which may be edited directly through interactive database editing. This powerful feature allows models to be developed or edited quickly.
Design Codes
BIM Interoperability
CSI ETABS (the structural analysis and design software from Computers and Structures, Inc.) offers a lifetime license,CSI ETABS (Extended Three-dimensional Analysis of Building Systems) is one of the world’s leading structural engineering software applications, specifically developed for multi-story building analysis and design. Known for its powerful modeling capabilities, efficient workflows, and high accuracy, ETABS provides engineers with a complete environment to model, analyze, and design all types of buildings—from simple residential towers to the most complex high-rise structures.
Key Features
1. Advanced Modeling Environment
-
Intuitive 3D modeling: Offers a user-friendly graphical interface with drag-and-drop tools to create building components such as beams, columns, walls, slabs, and cores.
-
Template-based modeling: Users can quickly generate common building types (rectangular, circular, or polygonal towers) using built-in templates.
-
Integration with CAD/BIM: Seamless import/export with AutoCAD, Revit, and IFC to fit into modern BIM workflows.
2. Powerful Analysis Capabilities
-
Linear and Nonlinear Analysis: Handles both static and dynamic loading conditions, including material and geometric nonlinearity.
-
Response Spectrum and Time History Analysis: Provides accurate seismic response evaluation for earthquake-resistant design.
-
P-Delta and Large Displacement Analysis: Captures second-order effects crucial in tall buildings.
-
Buckling and Stability Analysis: Ensures structural integrity under various loading scenarios.
3. Comprehensive Design Tools
-
International Design Codes: Supports multiple global design standards (ACI, Eurocode, IS, CSA, etc.) for concrete, steel, and composite structures.
-
Steel & Concrete Frame Design: Automated member sizing, code checks, and reinforcement detailing.
-
Shear Wall and Core Wall Design: Specialized tools for lateral load-resisting elements in high-rises.
-
Slab and Foundation Design: Integrates floor systems and mat foundations into overall structural performance.
4. Performance-Based Design (PBD)
-
Enables engineers to design beyond code-prescriptive methods, focusing on realistic structural performance under severe events (earthquakes, wind storms, blasts).
-
Nonlinear hinge definitions and pushover analysis help assess collapse mechanisms and resilience.
5. Visualization and Output
-
3D rendering engine: Provides realistic and interactive 3D visualizations of the entire building model.
-
Animated Analysis Results: Displays deflections, mode shapes, time-history responses, and seismic behavior dynamically.
-
Customizable Reports: Generates detailed design reports, including drawings, charts, and diagrams for documentation and presentations.
6. Integration and Productivity
-
Link with CSI SAFE: For foundation and slab design.
-
Link with CSI SAP2000: For advanced analysis of specialized components.
-
