Development of Conversion Program from ETABS to ABAQUS

Article Preview

Abstract:

ETABS has a powerful 3D modeling platform and ABAQUS provides an efficient explicit solver. By combining the advantages of ETABS and ABAQUS, this study found the difference in their model data files and used the MATLAB software to compile the conversion program, which can directly convert the ETABS models to ABAQUS. Finally, by comparing the calculated results of different analysis software, it is found that the calculated results were basically the same and the conversion process was correct.
