CASSETA. Tools for CSi ETABS and CSi SAFE applications

Description

Summary of key capabilities:

Batch Processing

• Modify multiple ETABS/SAFE models simultaneously.
• Apply stiffness modifiers, assign supports, and adjust load cases in bulk.
• Automate analysis and design across multiple models.

Model Modification & Adjustments

• Auto-assign naming conventions to frame elements.
• Assign stiffness modifiers, adjust beam depths, and apply frame releases.
• Generate staircases, ramps, and helical floor slabs dynamically.

Automated Load Application

• Apply facade loads, wind loads, seismic parameters, and base shear scaling factors.
• Validate seismic and wind loads with predefined checks.

Structural Validation & Model Checking

• Identify and correct unlinked columns, unconnected beams, and loose link elements.
• Check for missing diaphragm assignments, reversed local axes, and incorrectly assigned walls.
• Auto-detect failing piers, spandrels, and beams based on analysis results.

Export & Interoperability

• Export ETABS models to RAM Concept (GCFF format).
• Extract frame design and spandrel beam results to Excel.

Customisation & Preferences

• Save project settings and customise batch processing workflows.
• Define and enforce naming conventions across models.

By integrating these features, CASSETA Tools empowers structural engineers to streamline their workflow, reduce human error, and increase productivity when working with complex CSi ETABS and CSi SAFE models.
