ABOUT CSi
For nearly three decades, Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), has been
the leader in the development of Innovative Software for Structural &
Earthquake Engineering. CSI has pioneered many developments in algorithms
for structural engineering and Finite Element Analysis Technology that
have advanced the quality of the work produced by the profession. These
achievements include the development of the very first PC-based structural
analysis package, SAP80. Today, with users in over 150 countries, CSI
continues the tradition of leadership with its current generation of Windows
based structural analysis and design software. The intuitive physical
object based graphical user interfaces, powered by targeted special purpose
analysis and design algorithms are redefining standards of integration,
productivity and technical innovation.

ABOUT ETABS
For nearly 30 years ETABS has been recognized as the industry standard
for Building Analysis and Design Software. Today, continuing in the same
tradition, ETABS has evolved into a completely Integrated Building Analysis
and Design System.
The integrated model can include Moment Resisting Frames, Braced Frames,
Staggered Truss Systems, Frames with Reduced Beam Sections or Side Plates,
Rigid and Flexible Floors, Sloped Roofs, Ramps and Parking Structures,
Mezzanine Floors, Multiple Tower Buildings and Stepped Diaphragm Systems
with Complex Concrete, Composite or Steel Joist Floor Framing Systems.
Solutions to complex problems such as Panel Zone Deformations, Diaphragm
Shear Stresses, Construction Sequence Loading are now at your fingertips.
