@Seth I am designing both ETABS and Ram for design strip and checking stresses on Service load . I checked deflection and moment due to dead load only . There is a difference. I believe it is due to analysis mesh and how design strips average forces and then design the slab in both forces...

@BAtired , to do it manually . I need to do equalient frame method to get Moment at column strip and I am afraid it won't be close to finite element method analysis especially the slab I am studying is not a typical one for using equalivent frame method .

@agent666 I didn't set any cracknig modifiers to Ram or Etabs . It can be modified ,but I let them all equal to 1 as default . what I noticed is deformation due to dead load a bit different . defelction at mid span is 35 mm at Ram concept ,but 26 mm in Etabs . and of course negative moment at...

Greetings, I usually use Ram concept for post tension slab design . However , I tried to make a verification model by creating same model in ETABS and check results. Tendon forces are calculated the same in both Ram and Etabs . I made same identical design strip layout in Ram and Etabs . but...

@ celt83 , Thanks for your respond . I also use git . worked on some apis with etabs . here is my profile https://github.com/Momtaz93

@joel Application programming interface to customize tools or add plugin in a program .

Is there any prestressed (post tension software program that supports APIs) . Unfortunately , Ram concept doesn't support API same also for ADAPT apparently . Do you have any idea of such a software program that does design for post tension slabs and supports APIs ?

I want to use max/avg story displacement thatis shown in display tables and if it is more than 1.2 for response specturm case . I change the diaphram eccentricity for each floor by Ax valye * length of dipaghram perendicular to direction of force . I am tackling this issue by using database...

Thanks ! that was the issue . thanks for helping

I am trying to change the scale factor of response spectrum to be 100 % of base reactions of equavlient static in both x& y direction using APIs in Python I managed to extract base reaction from spec and equavlient static in both directions . I am stuck in getting scale factor already in...

Hello Thanks alot for your help . Regards

Hello rscassar, I made a progress in the API script . I managed to get length of all columns and area ,but I have one problem for model.PropFrame.GetRectangle("ConcCol") function . It only gets width ,depth of the name of section column in function . I want to get (width,depth) of all of...

Thanks rscassar for your response . after the reading the example , I maaaged to open the model and run it by API . I will start to see those functions you mentioned and see how it works . I let you know how it did go with me .

I am starting to use ETABS API with Python . I need to extract concrete quantites volume for frames elements (beams&columns). I believe I need to access to area of of all concrete elements and multiply by length or height ? I am not sure how to start with that in API . can somebody help or...
