User Testimonials
	BricsCAD	CSI ETABS
Likelihood to Recommend	Hexagon AB It is possible to use BricsCAD in a free version over time except that it is considerably reduced in terms of functionality and performance. I especially like the collaboration, import and export features. These tools are important in that they allow you to exchange with the different teams involved in the project to make the necessary changes in time. Incentivized Laurel Lewing Tchuembou Civil Engineer Read full review	Computers and Structures, Inc For High Rise Buildings I would prefer E-tabs only, as the other scope are projct situated in earthquake peone zone will be easy to design a and analysis the sesmic waves with recent input data. Also for steel structures, as E-tabs provide most details in RCC. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
