CSI ETABS 18.1.0 with Professional Training Series

Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), is pleased to announce the availability of ETABS version 18.1.0 build 2117. Enhancements include parallel analysis, Performance Based Design, energy output, and international design codes.

ETABS 18.1.0 Enhancements - Release Date: 11 Dec 2019

Performance-Based Design – Acceptance Criteria
- Acceptance criteria can be assigned to Link and Panel Zone properties for use in performance checks.
- Acceptance criteria can be assigned to piers and spandrels that can measure forces, stresses, or stresses as a ratio of the square-root of the concrete compressive strength f'c.
Performance-Based Design – Results Display
- The Performance Check feature now provides greater control over the calculation of the demand-capacity ratio (D/C ratio) for the whole model, as well as for each object individually. A performance check can now include acceptance criteria from links, strain gauges, pier and spandrel forces, and panel zones, along with frame and wall hinges which were previously available. Multiple demand sets can be specified as well as multiple combination methods, allowing more control over the performance-check results.
- The output tables have been enhanced to tabulate the demand-capacity ratio (D/C ratio) for the whole model, as well as for each object individually.
- Graphical display of performance check results (Display > Performance Check) has been enhanced to include acceptance criteria from links, strain gauges, pier and spandrel forces, and panel zones, along with frame and wall hinges which were previously available.
- A new plot function "Acceptance Criteria D/C Ratio" has been added. This plot function can be used to display the demand-capacity ratio (D/C ratio) for a specified group and specified performance level for all steps of a multi-stepped load case (e.g. time-history).
- A new menu item (Display > Performance Check Usage Ratio Diagram) which shows the demand-capacity ratio (D/C ratio) for all demand sets in a performance check and for a specified performance objective. This display is a visualization tool to show the relative contribution of each demand set and/or object type in a performance check.
Analysis
- Analysis can now run multiple load cases in parallel. This is particularly efficient for considering large suites of earthquakes in Performance-Based Design.
- Analysis errors, warnings, and informational messages are now stored and shown after the analysis completes, as well as accessible via database tables
Steel Frame Design
- Russian steel frame design code to SP16.13330.2017 from the previous SP16.13330.2011 version, including many new enhancements in the interaction equations, reporting, and user control parameters.
Concrete Frame Design
- Concrete frame design per Russian code SP 63.13330.2012 has been enhanced for seismic design, including new parameters for user control.
Structural Modeling
- A new material library for the Korean region has been added. The library contains steel, concrete, and rebar materials per the KBC 2016 standard.
Results Display and Output
- Nonlinear energy component output is now available per group for nonlinear load cases
Database Tables
- An enhancement was made to add new capability to perform filters and sorts in displayed database tables by right-clicking in the table column headers.

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.
