Course Objective
This is an advanced level course on using ETABS to perform linear and nonlinear analysis to facilitate detailed design of a Building Structure.
This course will assume participants had attended the ETABS I course and will focus more on using the advanced features of ETABS for detailed analysis of building.
Limited registration and small class sizes allow for interaction with the instructor, and in-person courses allow additional time for discussion, exercises and Q&A.
Pre-requisite needed: ETABS Hands-On Training I (S111E) or ETABS Hands-on Training (S110E).
