FILE OPERATIONS
• View View options, which affect how the structure displays, may
be set for each display window and the setting may differ from
window to window.
• Define Define is used to create named entities that are not part
of the geometry of the model. Those entities, accessed from the
Define menu, include items such as material properties; frame,
tendon, wall, and slab sections; and load patterns, cases and
combinations. Definition of those entities does not require prior
selection of an object, and some of those entities can be
defined during the assignment operation using the Assign menu.
• Draw Drawing is used to add new objects to the model or to
modify one object at a time. Objects include beams, columns,
slabs, decks, walls, links, tendons, and other joint, frame and shell
objects. To draw, the program must be in Draw Mode, which is
activated by click
FILE OPERATIONS
• Select Selection is used to identify those objects to which
the next operation will apply.
• ETABS uses a “noun-verb” concept; that is, a selection is
made and then an operation is performed.
• Certain editing, assigning, printing and displaying
operations require prior selection of an object. To select,
the program must be in Select Mode, which is activated
by clicking one of the select buttons on the toolbar
FILE OPERATIONS
• Assign Certain assignments may be made when drawing
an object, such as assigning a structural property when
drawing a frame object.
• Assignment operations include properties, restraints, loads
and group names. Analyze After a complete structural
model has been created using the preceding commands,
the model can be analyzed to determine the resulting
displacements, forces/stresses and reactions.
• Before running an analysis, use the Set Active Degrees of
Freedom command on the Analyze menu to control the
active degrees of freedom

OVERVIEW OF MODELING PROCESS
• This program is optimized for modeling building systems. Thus,
the modeling procedures and design capabilities are all tailored
to buildings.
• This program’s model is object-based. It consists of joint,
frame, tendon, link, and shell objects. You make assignments to
those objects to define structural members such as beams,
columns,
• braces, floors, walls, ramps and springs.
• You also make assignments to those same objects to define
loads.
• In its simplest form, developing a model requires three basic
steps:
OVERVIEW OF MODELING PROCESS
• Draw a series of joint, frame, tendon, link, and shell objects that
represent your building using the various drawing tools available within
the graphical interface.
• Assign structural properties (sections and materials) and loads to
objects using the Assign menu options. Note that the assignment of
structural properties may be completed concurrently with the drawing
of the object using the Properties of Object form that displays when
Draw commands are used.
• Verify meshing parameters for floor (if they are not membrane
slab/deck/plank sections) and wall shell objects. Maximum mesh size
may be set independently for floors and walls. When the model is
complete, the analysis may be run.
• At that time, the program automatically converts the object-based
model into an element based model–this is known as the analysis
model–that is used for the analysis.
OVERVIEW OF MODELING PROCESS
• The analysis model consists of joints, frame elements,
• tendon elements, link elements, and shell (membrane and
• plate) elements that mathematically represent the
• structural members, i.e., columns, beams, braces, walls,
floors, etc.
• The conversion to the analysis model is internal to the
program and essentially transparent to the user
DEFINITION OF STORY
• One of the most powerful features that ETABS offers is the
recognition of story levels,
• allowing for the input of building data in a logical and
convenient manner.
• Users may define their models on a floor-by-floor, story-by-
story basis, analogous to the way a designer works when
laying out building drawings. Story levels help identify,
locate and view specific areas and objects of your model;
column and beam objects are easily located using their
plan location and story level labels
Structural Objects
• Joint objects of two types: o Joint objects are automatically
created at the corners or ends of all other types of objects, and
they can be explicitly added anywhere in the model. o Spring or
Grounded (one joint) link objects are used to model external
springs and special support behavior, such as isolators, dampers,
gaps, multi-linear springs and more.
• Frame objects are used to model beams, columns, braces
and trusses
• . Tendon objects are used to model post-tensioning tendons
and tendon loads. Even though they are drawn in plan similar to
a beam object, they differ from beam objects in that they have
a shape profile through the slab thickness.
•
Structural Objects
• Link (connecting two-joint) objects are used to model
special member behavior, such as isolators, dampers,
gaps, multi-linear springs, and more. Unlike frame objects,
connecting link objects can have zero length.
• Shell objects are used to model walls, slabs, decks,
planks, and other thin-walled members. Shell objects will
be meshed automatically into the elements needed for
analysis. Walls and floors with both membrane and plate
behavior (e.g., cast-in-place solid, waffle, & ribbed slabs)
are meshed using a rectangular mesh with a maximum size
set by the use
LOAD PATTERNS
• Loads represent actions upon the structure, such as force,
pressure, support displacement, thermal effects, and
others.
• A spatial distribution of loads upon the structure is called a
load pattern
• Typically, separate load patterns would be defined for
dead load, live load, static earthquake load, wind load,
snow load, thermal load, and so on. Loads that need to
vary independently, for design purposes or because of
how they are applied to the building, should be defined as
separate load patt
LOAD PATTERNS
• After defining a load pattern name, you must assign
specific load values to the objects as part of that load
pattern, or define an automated lateral load if the case is
for seismic or wind. The load values you assign to an object
specify the type of load (e.g., force, displacement,
temperature), its magnitude, and direction (if applicable).
LOADS- VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL
• Some typical vertical load cases used for building
structures might include:
• Dead load
• Superimposed dead load
• Live load
• Reduced live load
• SNOW LOAD
Temperature Loads
• Temperature loads on frame and shell objects can be
generated in ETABS by specifying temperature changes.
• Those temperature changes may be specified directly as a
uniform temperature change on the object,
• or they may be based on previously specified point object
temperature changes, or on a combination of both.
Automated Lateral Loads
• ETABS allows for the automated generation of static lateral
loads for
• earthquake (seismic) and
• wind load cases based on numerous code specifications
LOAD CASES- STATIC LINEAR LOAD
• Static: The most common type of analysis. Loads are
applied without dynamical effects.
• Response-Spectrum: Statistical calculation of the
response caused by acceleration loads. Requires
response-spectrum functions.
• Time-History: Time-varying loads are applied. Requires
timehistory functions. The solution may be by modal
superposition or direct integration methods. Buckling:
Calculation of buckling modes under the application of
loads. The
LOAD CASE-NONLINEAR STATIC LOADS
• Nonlinear Static: Loads are applied without dynamical
effects. May be used for pushover analysis. Nonlinear
Staged Construction: Loads are applied without
dynamical effects, with portions of the structure being
added or removed. Time-dependent effects can be
included, such as creep, shrinkage, and aging.
Nonlinear Time-History: Time-varying loads are applied.
Requires time-history functions. The solution may be by
modal superposition or direct integration methods
LOAD COMBINATIONS
• Linear Add: Results from the included load cases and
combinations are added.
• Envelope: Results from the included load cases and
combinations are enveloped to find the maximum and
minimum values.
• Absolute Add: The absolute values of the results from the
included load cases and combinations are added.
• SRSS: The square root of the sum of the squares of the results
from the included load cases and combinations is computed.
Range Add: Positive values are added to the maximum and
negative values are added to the minimum for the included
load cases and combos. Except

design process. As a result, each frame object can have
two different section properties associated with it:
• An “analysis section” used in the previous analysis
