Building Analysis with ETABS

Model, analyse and check a multi-storey building in ETABS, and learn to judge whether the software's answer makes sense.

Notify me when it opens

For engineers who already know the basics of structural design and want a reliable analysis workflow. The emphasis is on judgement: what to check, what to distrust, and how to explain your model to a reviewer.

The syllabus on this page is a draft and will be finalised before registration opens.

What you will be able to do

  • Build a clean, correct ETABS model of a regular building
  • Apply code load combinations without guessing
  • Recognise a bad model from its results
  • Hand your analysis over to the detailing stage cleanly
