I have inherited an awesome project through the most unfortunate circumstances, the loss of a great engineer moving onto bigger and brighter pastures.
The project is going to be an ASCE 41 non-linear dynamic analysis and has had geotech engineers involved in picking out ground motion that represent similar ground motions that the …
The Tool
One feature that I like to use in ETABs is the section cut tool, but it is quite cumbersome to utilize in practice:
Notice how you have to enter (4) valid points to define a section cut... a time consuming process. I love to …
The website has three updates
- New (hopefully easier to view) layout
- Slugified URLs
- Images that enlarge on click
1 - New (hopefully easier to view) layout
This one was by far the hardest for me to achieve, but hopefully makes the site easier to read on mobile. I …
Since my last post on bending rebar in revit, I have been attempting to make a sloping K Series joist in revit that will dynamically update in the most awesome way possible.
K Series Joist in Action
Why is this awesome?!? In the …
How awesome would it be to have an easy to use, rebar drafting drawing tool in revit, getting minimum bend radii for any type of rebar? For some reason Autodesk has never released one of these and you would think it would be easy low hanging fruit for them to tackle. …

@Toni, this post does not discuss the level of mesh refinement required. The focus is on building an ETABS model efficiently. Mesh refinement is typically evaluated within ETABS by studying the parameter of interest and refining the mesh until the results converge to an acceptable tolerance.
@fpsstructures, I edited your …

Really impressive work combining Three.js with ETABS for a parametric workflow. The ability to quickly generate and analyze multiple tower forms can be a huge advantage during early-stage design exploration. I also like how the structural logic still feels clean and efficient despite the complex geometry.

How do you assess the fineness of the mesh required? More scale or load based?
