What I see for E-TAbs
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use E-Tabs to desigin and Analysis, of structural element as per the project requirment. Also to calculate the load distribution and quantities of structural element, etc. Mostly E-tabs is good with High Rise Buildings as it will be easy to work on large scale. E-tabs has limitation like as it does not calculate loads distributation and rebaring in stairs.
Pros
- Loads distributation as it is our main concern
- Providing rebar quantity as well as providing a full 3d model object of rebar's
- Providing quanttity sheets and material specification in final output
Cons
- First E-tabs need to work on ease of load chnaging on an particular object after analysis as it reduce time and confusion between elements
- The rebaring model on final output should be have more editing options as it will help in understanding and easy to use
- Need to work on stairs rebar as it is also one of more important
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
