Structural Analysis using ETABS - Fundamentals

[@ScottESchmidt]

Retired civil engineer here who used to run STRUDL on punchcards with overnight turnaround. Lord how times have changed! My day was often spent with my hand-held HP calculator, calc pad, and code book doing structural analysis and design by hand, and so now I wonder how much engineers just plug and chug without as much understanding. On the other hand, the visuals do help with the comprehension of structural behavior, and the computers do reduce the risk of calculation error. What fantastic software. And Dear Prof H, I'm watching all of your videos. I was trained as a structural engineer, however I detoured into the oil and gas industry. But structures were my first love. Your videos are the best on KZbin, and are refreshing my memory and bringing back lost skills, even though I don't need them any longer. So satisfying. It's disappointing that this type of software is so expensive, however, making it unaffordable for folks like me who can use and appreciate it, but who no longer work for firms that subscribe to it.
