Software / Graphics & Design →CSI ETABS 22.2.0 Win x64

When displaying frame force/moment diagrams, an option to display them with colored contours is now available. Various usability improvements have also been made.
ETABS 22.2.0 Enhancements - Date: 1-Oct-2024

Analysis
The following two types of frequency domain analysis have been added into ETABS:
- Steady State analysis may be used in lieu of the more computationally intensive Time-History, often for cases where the initial ramp up or cool down periods are not considered important.
- Power Spectral Density analysis is a method to perform a probabilistic evaluation of random vibrations across a frequency range.

Structural Model
A new link property was added to represent the Sumitomo Viscoelastic Damper produced by Sumitomo Rubber Industries.

The definition of point spring properties has been enhanced / simplified so that simple, nonlinear properties can be specified without having to first define a link.

Composite Beam Design
Composite Beam Design codes have been added for the Indian IS 11384:2022 and the Chinese GB50017 codes

User Interface
Rebar detailing information for concrete columns and beams can now be accessed from the object right click form when detailing results are available.

The rebar detailing editor for strip rebar can now be accessed from the design strip right click form when slab detailing results are available.

An enhancement was made to display frame local axes color in the section definition form and local axes numbers in the model assignment display.

Output and Display
Frame force/moment diagrams can now be displayed with colored contours.
ETABSis 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.
