Saved ETABS models

Read the whole model once; use it in every calculator, with ETABS closed.

With EtabsWebBridge running beside ETABS, one click reads everything the calculators take from it: the base joints with every combination's and load case's reactions, the columns, walls, slabs and grid, ETABS's column, beam and shear wall design, the story tables and the diaphragms. It is kept in this browser.

While a saved model is in use, every calculator's live from ETABS reads it instead of ETABS — pile caps, footings, the pile layout, column schedule, beam detailing, shear walls, drift, torsion, stability and the other building checks. Where a calculator would read what is selected in ETABS, it asks you to pick the joint, column, wall or beams from the saved model's list. Download its file to keep it with the project, and open it here on any computer.

None in use: the calculators read ETABS live, through the bridge.

Save the model open in ETABS

Run the analysis, and the concrete frame and shear wall designs if you want their results.
Use EtabsWebBridge 1.10.0 (get it): it reads every support, column, pier and beam in one go each. An older bridge reads the joints one at a time, only the beams selected in ETABS (Select ▸ All), and no member's forces.
Start EtabsWebBridge, then read and save.

What still needs ETABS open

With a model saved by an EtabsWebBridge older than 1.10.0: one column's or pier's forces along its height (punching shear, the slender column check, a pile cap from a column's forces).
Writing the amplified eccentricity back into ETABS (the torsional irregularity check).
Anything changed in ETABS after saving: save the model again.
