Deformed Geometry
- 3D perspective graphical displays
- Static deformed and mode shapes animation of deformed shapes
- Users can display deformed geometry based on any load, or combination of loads.
Moment, Shear and Axial Force Diagrams
- Force diagrams and stress contours
- Story vertical loads, shears and overturning moments
- Selective results displayed on-screen with right-button click
- Tabular display of model input & output
Section Cuts
- Graphical section cut definitions for forces and stresses
- The resultant (free-body) forces and moments across any cut in the structure can be defined using section cuts.
- A section cut can have any shape, and can be used to compute story shears, connecting forces, design forces in shear walls, and for many other purposes.
- Section cut results can be obtained for all types of load cases and combinations.
Video Animations
- ETABS has the ability to generate video (.avi) files to visually display a set of analysis results that vary over a particular time period, such as in a time history analysis.
- Output plot functions include:
- Base functions
- Energy functions
- Frame functions
- Generalized Displacement functions
- Joint functions
- Link functions
- Load functions
- Section Cut functions
- Shell functions
