ETABS Tool

The ESEC software is compatible with the CSI ETABS software by exporting the data from the ETABS model as EXCEL sheet which is imported by ESEC. The ETABS model is plotted in 3D and 2D views in ESEC. ETABS Unique numbers of beams and joints at base can be shown in ESEC. Capacity ratios of columns, beams, or foundation are plotted on the model in ESEC. 

Step 1: Export EXCEL Sheet from ETABS Model

Step 2: Name the Exported EXCEL Sheet as "ETABS_Data.xlsx" and put the file in the ESEC folder

Step 3: Import the "ETABS_Data.xlsx" file into ESEC, choose the importing parameters, then show the building views 

Step 4: Run Column Design and show capacity ratios of columns using 5 different approaches

Step 5: Show plan view, insert "Beam Rft Table", assign beam models, and get D/C ratio for +ve and -ve moment, as well as for shear.

Step 6: Show plan view, insert "Footing Rft Table", assign footing models, and get D/C ratio for isolated footings.
