Yes, you have put the wrong input for the time period. To change it to 1 second in the ETABS program, you will need to access the program settings or preferences. There should be an option to modify the time period. You can set it to 1 second from there.
In ETABS, you can change the time period by going to the "Define Menu" and selecting "Settings". Under the "Time History" tab, you can adjust the time periods as needed.
To assign the type of soil to the foundation system in ETABS v20, you need to use the Foundation Wizard. This can be found in the Design menu and will allow you to select the type of footing and the type of soil.
hay. I am ayham, i just started etabs and having this problem
every time I draw a wall or beam it always set in the middle of the grid.is there any shortcut or a way to draw it on the side the grid like other programs
and thank you

Click the Draw menu > Draw Floor/Wall Objects > Draw Wall Openings command or button to add an opening in a wall.
1- In Assign > Frame/line loads > Distributed >Load type and Direction > Direction> Global X proj. Whats does Global x Proj mean?
2-In Define > Static load cases name > Loads > Type > Notional. What does Notional load mean?
Thank you very much.

Global x Proj is the center of rigidity. This settings needs the Y value to be added so that you can perform rotation. Notional load is the load that is applied to the object. This value needs to be entered according to your calculations.
Since ETABS is not free of charge, you can download and install the evaluation version from the official web page. Fill in the provided fields and you will receive a download link via your email address.
Select the frame objects and go to Assign > Frame loads > Distributed, then scale their magnitude according to tributary allocation. Area loads – Similarly, apply shell loads by selecting the wall and going to Assign > Shell loads > Uniform or Non-Uniform loads.
For steel design by AISC-360-05 why the 1.3*Dead load is used at autogenerate load combination? In the code the instruction is 1.2DL+LL+EL.

There is a knowledge base page set up by the developers with information related to the calculation of various elements and designs. I recommend checking the page then click on FAQ to see exactly the common answers to the problems found within the application.
Hi, I will be modelling a structure composed of two towers (12 floors each) and will have a common podium of 1 floors. I will be using ETABS 2016 because of the "Multiple-Towers" option. Here are my questions:
Is that mode working or it is in BETA status?
If it is working, can you give me tips on how to use it? I've checked YouTube and there are only few videos about it and none of those showed an example.
Another concern is structure period, this should be different for each tower, however, ETABS will present only one period which is a function of the top story assigned.
In connection with #3, Static Base Shear will also be affected, and we know that the succeeding structural analysis will depend on this.
I'm really new in this "Multiple-tower" set up so if someone can help me, I would really appreciate. Thank you

result from column/beam capacity ratio gives 2 values. Please give some description regarding this?
