Each of these programs offers unique capabilities and tools that are tailored to different types of structures and problems, allowing users to find just the right solution for their work. SAP2000 is intended for use on civil structures such as dams, communication towers, stadiums, industrial plants and buildings. CSiBridge offers powerful parametric design of concrete and steel bridges. ETABS has been developed specifically for multi-story commercial and residential building structures, such as office towers, apartments and hospitals. The SAFE System provides an efficient and powerful program for the analysis and design of concrete slabs and foundations, with or without post-tensioning. PERFORM-3D is a highly focused nonlinear tool offering powerful performance based design capabilities.
\r\n CSiXCAD, a CSI developed plug-in for AutoCAD and BricsCAD, streamlines drawing production by directly interacting with ETABS and SAP2000. CSiXCAD provides a live link between structural models defined and maintained in ETABS or SAP2000 and the drawings documenting them in the CAD software. CSiXCAD generates a full 3-D model and automatically generates an initial set of drawings that can then be refined within the CAD software.\r\n
Csi SAP 2000 14.2 (2010)
\r\n The link between Tekla Structures and SAP2000 or ETABS allows models to be started in either product, then transferred to the other. Round-tripping of models is possible, including accepting of changes when transferring from SAP2000 or ETABS to Tekla Structures. It is also possible to merge changes to a Tekla Structures model to an existing SAP2000 or ETABS model.\r\n
\r\n Support of IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) data models provides compatibility with other BIM enabled applications. SAP2000, CSiBridge, and ETABS all support import and export of IFC 2x3 and IFC 4 formats.\r\n
Starting with ETABS v18, SAP2000 v21, CSiBridge v21, and SAFE v20 it is now possible to develop cross-product API tools that work with all three products. This allows you to write the code once and use it in all three products. These versions of the API are also forward compatible to future major versions of these products without the need for recompiling.
