For nearly 30 years, ETABS has been recognized as the industry standard for Building Analysis and Design Software. Today, continuing in the same tradition, ETABS has evolved into a completely Integrated Building Analysis and Design Environment. The System built around a physical object based graphical user interface, powered by targeted new special purpose algorithms for analysis and design, with interfaces for drafting and manufacturing, is redefining standards of integration, productivity and technical innovation.

V9.2.0

• A printed report is now available for steel and concrete frame design. This report is produced in RTF format for Microsoft Word, and contains a cover page, tables of design input values, tables of design results, and an individual design summary sheet for each selected member.

• Concrete frame design output for enveloping results has been improved to include, in a single sheet, the controlling forces/moment, stations, and load combinations, as well as the resulting rebar and/or demand/capacity ratios. This is available by right-clicking on the member for design results, or as part of the new printed design report.

• The documentation available using the Help > Documentation command can now be modified by the user. This allows you to add company standards and procedures, project data, language translations, and other documents in a single location for ease of reference.

• The “Automated Lateral Loads Manual” has been added which describes all the code-based seismic and wind loads available in ETABS and SAP2000.

V9.1.7

• Concrete frame design was added for the Eurocode 2-2004 design code, including the CEN generic version and the United Kingdom National Annex. Seismic provisions to EC8 are under development.

V9.1.6

• Steel frame design check was added for the CAN/CSA-S16-01 design code, including seismic provisions.

• Concrete frame design check was added for the CAN/CSA A23.3-04 design code.

• Steel frame design check was added for the AISC 360-05 and IBC 2006 design code, including the seismic provisions of AISC 314-05. The direct analysis method has been implemented, including second-order P-delta effects and tau-b fixed or variable. Automatic iteration for optimal member selection includes the effect of tau-b variable.

• New automated lateral loads were added, including:

• NBCC 2005 wind loads, seismic loads, and response-spectrum functions

• IBC 2006 seismic loads and response-spectrum functions

• ASCE 7-05 wind loads

• Automated notional loads were added for the AISC 2005 design code.

• Significant enhancements were made to the link between ETABS and Autodesk Revit Structural 2008.

• Several new manuals were added:

• Concrete shear wall design for the ACI 318-02 and ACI 318-05 design codes.

• Combined all older steel frame design codes into a single comprehensive manual

• Combined all older concrete frame design codes into a single comprehensive manual

V9.1.5

• Updated the link ETABS and Autodesk Revit Structural to version 2008.
