Course Description
<p>ETABS is a highly efficient analysis and design program developed especially for building systems. It is loaded with an integrated system with an ability to handle the largest and most complex building models and configurations.</p> <ul> <li>The software has powerful CAD-like drawing tools with a graphical and object-based interface.</li> <li>It increases the productivity of structural engineers.</li> <li>It saves a significant amount of time and money over the general purpose programs.</li> </ul>
