ETABS Practical 1
ETABS Practical 1
• Model editing is pretty simple. Any item can be moved from one spot to another,
combined with other objects using the merge command, made similar using the mirror
command, and copied in the same or different story levels.
• One may accurately draw an object using the snap command, which has end,
perpendicular, and centre parameters.
• Any item, such as a beam, column, slab, wall, etc., can be quickly created with just one
mouse click.
• In the ETABS application, there is simple window switching among several views. With
this function, you can design or change your model while viewing it in real time.
• It is simple to create your model and edit it thanks to the 3D view's various zoom options
and panning command, which allows you to move the entire model quickly and without
rotating it.
• The 3D model has various view options, including a plan view, any side elevation view,
and even a view that the modeller customises.
• Through a section designer, every type of shape and material can have its sectional
dimensions graphically inserted. This curriculum offers almost every shape for different
members.
• Different working aspects can take advantage of the model geometry's exporting
functionality to .dxf files.
• Make use of EC-Praxis 3J connection; this enables analysis and design for steel structure
connections easier.
• It is now simple to consider the self-weight of different members even when the size is
altered thanks to automatic consideration of material self-weight.
• Also, the software is far faster to automatically create earthquake and wind loads than to
manually calculate and assign them to a 3D model.
• It is not needed to define each load combination separately; this automates compliance
with your defined building code and saves you time.
