ETABS v9 models may be exported to PERFORM-3D through the process which follows:
- Run analysis within ETABS.
- Select File > Export > Perform 3D Text File. This operation creates a text file which will then enable interoperability between the platforms.
Within PERFORM-3D, define groups for the various element types to be imported from the text file, as shown in Figure 1:

Open the model within PERFORM-3D by selecting Task > Import/export structure data, as shown in Figure 2:
