ETABS 2013 - Intergrated analysis, design and drafting of building systems


ETABS 2013 v13.2.1 - Intergrated analysis, design and drafting of building systems

   ETABS 2013 is the most sophisticated and technologically-advanced software product available to structural engineers today. It defines the future of building design software, setting the stage for unsurpassed capability and efficiency worldwide.

   Built on a foundation of more than 40 years of research and innovation, ETABS 2013 sets the gold standard, yet again. Featuring versatile modeling technology, stunning graphics, efficient numerical methods and powerful optimization algorithms for design, ETABS 2013 offers unmatched levels of integration and productivity. It addresses numerous international building codes while producing complete design reports and schematic construction drawings to meet the demanding needs of the modern structural engineering professional.


 ETABS 2013 v13.2.1 Enhancements:

  • The Auto-Relabel All option that was available in ETABS v9 has been restored.
  • Russian material property and section property libraries have been added.
  • ASCE 41-13 guidelines for performance-based design have been implemented for frame hinge definitions, performance-point calculations, and the behavior and acceptance criteria for panel-zones and BRBs (buckling-restrained braces).
  • Masonry is now defined as a separate material rather than a type of concrete material.
  • Multiple named mass-source definitions can now be created and used for different load cases.
  • The Singapore National Annex has been added as an option to the Eurocode 8-2004 response spectrum function.
  • Notional load patterns can now be based on snow loads as well as other gravity loads.
  • User control is now provided for the handling of self-weight in the end offset portions of beam members.
  • The speed of analysis has been increased for most load cases.
  • The iteration strategy for nonlinear static and nonlinear direct-integration time-history load cases has been made more adaptive to typically improve convergence behavior and to reduce the time of analysis.
  • The line-search algorithm is now available for nonlinear static analysis.
  • Steel frame design for the Indian IS 800:2007 code now implements the changes in Amendment Number 1.
  • The display of design input parameters for steel frame design overwrites has been enhanced.
  • Canadian design codes (i.e., CSA A23.3-04 and CSA S16-09) now include snow loads in the default design combinations.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made for composite beam design affecting the control of the design process, the look and functionality of the interactive design form, the format and content of the output, and other improvements.
  • Shear wall design per the Indian IS 456:2000 code now allows separate control in the major and minor directions for enforcing the minimum eccentricity due to slenderness.
  • Several database tables have been added or have had their content expanded, including the listing of object unique names where applicable. 
  • Table set definitions are now saved in the text model file.

Older versions:
ETABS 2013 13.1.5 Enhancements
Significant enhancements include:
  • The iteration algorithm for nonlinear direct-integration time-history analysis has been enhanced to improve the rate of convergence and to reduce the time of analysis for certain models.
ETABS 2013 13.1.4 Enhancements
Significant enhancements include:
  • The Chinese frame-section databases have been updated with new sections
  • The import from DXF or DWG files has been enhanced so that imported architectural objects are now kept as part of the ETABS model.
  • The import of Revit Structure models from CSiXRevit has been enhanced to handle multi-story sloped columns and vertical planar walls with openings on their edges.
  • The import of 3D DXF or DWG files has been enhanced to automatically generate story levels in ETABS and to divide multi-story walls at story levels.
  • Other minor enhancements

ETABS 2013 13.1.2 and 13.1.3 Enhancements
Significant enhancements include:
  • Concrete frame design and shear wall design using the AS 3600-09/NZS 3101-06 codes have been updated for Amendment No. 3 in 2011 affecting the seismic load combinations.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made to shear wall design using the Eurocode 2-2004 code for the uniform-reinforcing and section-designer section options.
  • The output table Modal Direction Factors, primarily used for Chinese design, has been enhanced to include the contribution of all mass in the structure, not just the mass in rigid diaphragm constraints.
  • Database tables can now be exported to an XML file that can be opened by Microsoft Access, allowing the export to Access on machines that do not have it installed.
  • The loads from staged-construction load cases can now be exported to SAFE.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made to the import of .DXF files for floor plans, 3D models, and grid systems.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made to the import and export of IFC 4 files.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made to the import of SDNF files.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made to the import of CIS/2 files.
  • Many additional Open API functions have been implemented.
ETABS 2013 13.1.0 and 13.1.1 Enhancements
Significant enhancements included:
  • Concrete frame design and shear wall design have been added for the Hong Kong CP 2013 code.
  • Steel frame design using the AISC 360-10 code now provides an option to allow Notional Load cases to be included in design combinations with wind, seismic and response spectrum cases.
  • Automated wind loading has been added according to the Australian and New Zealand code AS/NZS 1170.2-2011.
  • Automated wind loading using the diaphragm-extents option for the ASCE 7-02, ASCE 7- 05 and ASCE 7-10 codes that now allows automatic determination of the wind pressure coefficients (windward and leeward) based on the building size.
  • Frame section properties have been enhanced to separate steel shapes from concrete shapes for more detailed handling of rebar.
  • The mass source now allows separate control for the self-mass from elements and added masses, in addition to the use of load patterns. Previously self-mass and added mass were considered together.
  • New database tables have been added that provide pier and spandrel section property information.
  • Customization of the keyboard shortcuts for the various menu items is now available.
  • Multiple enhancements have been made for the import and export of IFC files.
  • Other minor enhancements.
