It is well suited to determining the capacity and flood levels for existing structures and sizing proposed structures based on the existing flood levels. In cases where we do not have sufficient information for proposed developments that need to be included in terrain for modeling, it can be challenging to modify the terrain, however, I think this would be the case for most software.

For High Rise Buildings I would prefer E-tabs only, as the other scope are projct situated in earthquake peone zone will be easy to design a and analysis the sesmic waves with recent input data. Also for steel structures, as E-tabs provide most details in RCC.

  • First E-tabs need to work on ease of load chnaging on an particular object after analysis as it reduce time and confusion between elements
  • The rebaring model on final output should be have more editing options as it will help in understanding and easy to use
  • Need to work on stairs rebar as it is also one of more important

Alternatives Considered
CivilGEO, Inc
Other software not on the list includes HEC-RAS and SWMM / PCSWMM. Initially, we had to use multiple software before going to HEC-RAS to complete projects. Now we are able to complete the entire project on GeoHECRAS alone with so many different features which enable us to analyze various different scenarios with ease.

The only reason where I would hose the E-tabs is its commands which are easy to use and it also probide rebar shedule for whole project and also provide the model of rebar which gives me clear idea and helps from manual calculations.
