ETABS Tips

[migs29]

guys I have something to ask you... I just studying now how to use ETABS program... How can I make load combination? Is it automatically the program will make load combination base on the assigned input loads? Coz base on my observation once you run the analysis, automatically once you click the load combination button there are load combinations there including the loads factors... Is it the Chosen code will assign the load factors in the load different load combinations?... How can I see the design output in ETABS like for example area of rebars and cross section of beam of concrete design, Steel Members of steel design,etc... In animating the structure what signifies the "Mode # Period # seconds" appear in the window?..

thanks for the input you will have...
