Light Steel Framing with ETABS

[nicaeng]

Has anyone used ETABS for light steel framing design? Do you recommend a different software for this structural system?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean cold formed steel?

Yes, cold-formed light steel framing, especially for residential and low-rise (up to 4 or 5 story buildings).
