About the Course
ETABS and SAFE have become essential tools in the structural engineer’s toolkit. ETABS excels at the modeling and analysis of multi-story frames and structural systems, while SAFE is the go-to platform for designing floor slabs and foundations. But knowing how to use these tools isn’t enough; you must understand what to model, why the structure behaves a certain way, and how to optimize for cost, strength, and performance.
This training takes you beyond software navigation. You’ll work on real design challenges applying codes such as ACI, Eurocode, IS, or BS and learn how to interpret analysis results, identify modeling errors, and generate professional documentation. From beam-column framing systems to mat foundations, from lateral load analysis to slab punching checks, this course is built for those who want to do real engineering with real tools.
Target Audience
This course is designed for:
- Civil and structural engineers involved in building design
- Engineering consultants and design technicians
- Professionals in architectural and design-build firms
- Construction engineers reviewing structural plans
- Engineering graduates transitioning to industry roles
- Project managers coordinating with structural teams
- Municipal engineers reviewing building submissions
- Infrastructure professionals handling seismic zones
- Reinforced concrete and steel design specialists
