ETABS 18.1.1 Enhancements

Structural Model
Panel-zone definitions now include nonlinear behavior that is automatically generated based on ASCE 41-17 criteria or specified as user-defined properties. The nonlinear behavior for panel zones allows the specification of a symmetrical multi-linear backbone curve with several available options for hysteretic behavior. Panel-zone acceptance criteria definitions have been expanded to allow the major and minor directions to be separately specified, and these can be automatically generated based on ASCE 41-17.


Detailing
ETABS has been enhanced for compatibility with CSiXCAD, a new plug-in from Computers and Structures, Inc., for the detailing and documenting of steel and concrete structures within AutoCAD® or BricsCAD®. Working with building models that were analyzed and designed in ETABS, CSiXCAD can automatically create plans, elevations, schedules, and 3-D BIM models. Drawings can be updated to reflect changes to the ETABS model and design results, while retaining drafting changes made to the drawings themselves.

ETABS 18.1.1 Release Notes This document lists changes made to ETABS since v18.1.0, released 11-December-2019. Items marked with an asterisk (*) in the first column are more significant


ETABS is an engineering software product that caters to multi-story building analysis and design. Modeling tools and templates, code-based load prescriptions, analysis methods and solution techniques, all coordinate with the grid-like geometry unique to this class of structure. Basic or advanced systems under static or dynamic conditions may be evaluated using ETABS. For a sophisticated assessment of seismic performance, modal and direct-integration time-history analyses may couple with P-Delta and Large Displacement effects. Nonlinear links and concentrated PMM or fiber hinges may capture material nonlinearity under monotonic or hysteretic behavior. Intuitive and integrated features make applications of any complexity practical to implement. Interoperability with a series of design and documentation platforms makes ETABS a coordinated and productive tool for designs which range from simple 2D frames to elaborate modern high-rises.
