Comparison of STAAD Pro & ETABS S.No. Description Staad Pro Etabs

Uploaded by

V.m. Rajan

The document compares the structural analysis software STAAD Pro and ETABS. Some key differences summarized are: 1. STAAD Pro allows modeling of any structure while ETABS only models building structures using its inbuilt library. 2. ETABS shows 3D rendering with better visual effects while STAAD Pro's 3D view is more limited. 3. Both use stiffness matrix methods but ETABS also uses finite element analysis for plates. 4. ETABS more accurately calculates bending moments and shear forces from the face of columns. 5. ETABS has easier floor loading for irregular panels while STAAD Pro has difficulties with odd shapes. 6. STAAD Pro
