ETABS 2013 Has Tons of Bugs
(OP)
I have been using Etas 2013 for the last 6 months now and have noticed a significant amount of bug with the program. Be weary of jumping into a project with this software.

RE: ETABS 2013 Has Tons of Bugs
I was thinking to get the latest version of Etabs, but now I'm scared, could you list some of these bugs? What CSi people has to say about it?
RE: ETABS 2013 Has Tons of Bugs
CSI just release Etabs 13.1.0 maybe the fix this bugs.
Enhancements included:
Concrete frame design and shear wall design have been added for the Hong Kong CP 2013 code.
Steel frame design using the AISC 360-10 code now provides an option to allow Notional Load cases to be included in design combinations with wind, seismic and response spectrum cases.
Automated wind loading has been added according to the Australian and New Zealand code AS/NZS 1170.2-2011.
Automated wind loading using the diaphragm-extents option for the ASCE 7-02, ASCE 7- 05 and ASCE 7-10 codes that now allows automatic determination of the wind pressure coefficients (windward and leeward) based on the building size.
Frame section properties have been enhanced to separate steel shapes from concrete shapes for more detailed handling of rebar.
The mass source now allows separate control for the self-mass from elements and added masses, in addition to the use of load patterns. Previously self-mass and added mass were considered together.
New database tables have been added that provide pier and spandrel section property information.
Customization of the keyboard shortcuts for the various menu items is now available.
Multiple enhancements have been made for the import and export of IFC files.
Other minor enhancements.

Is it true that you can now carry out non-linear time history analysis. The previous versions would only allow non-linear pushover and staged construction with elastic time history analysis (NLTHA). I like Etabs because it has better BIM capabilities ( bi-directional link with Revit) compared to Sap2000. But it really needs the NLTHA capabilities to be a winner.

Actually I don't like at all etabs (any version) cause I have been used do work using a much better software (MIDAS gen), much more user friendly, much more reliable, tons of excellent technical/theoretical papers, but unfortunately for me it doesn't support the australian standard, so I have to stick with etabs
