Modeling of Structural Systems
...
Fundamental to ETABS modeling is the generalization that multi-story buildings typically consist of identical or similar floor plans that repeat in the vertical direction. Modeling features that streamline analytical-model generation, and simulate advanced seismic systems, are listed as follows:
- Templates for global-system and local-element modeling
- Customized section geometry and constitutive behavior
- Grouping of frame and shell objects
- Link assignment for modeling isolators, dampers, and other advanced seismic systems
- Nonlinear hinge specification
- Automatic meshing with manual options
- Editing and assignment features for plan, elevation, and 3D views

Once
...
modeling
...
is
...
complete,
...
ETABS
...
automatically
...
generates
...
and
...
assigns
...
code-based
...
loading
...
conditions
...
for
...
gravity,
...
seismic,
...
wind,
...
and
...
thermal
...
forces.
...
Users
...
may
...
specify
...
an
...
unlimited
...
number
...
of
...
load
...
...
and
...
...
.
Analysis capabilities then offer advanced nonlinear methods for characterization of static-pushover
...
and
...
dynamic
...
response.
...
Dynamic
...
considerations
...
may
...
include
...
...
,
...
...
...
,
...
or
...
...
analysis.

Given enveloping specification, design features will automatically size elements and systems, design reinforcing schemes, and otherwise optimize the structure according to desired performance measures.
