What can I try for free?+
Explore StructaCAD, create a free account and review your available trial downloads in your account. No credit card required.
What do I need to import from ETABS?+
Start with an ETABS .e2k file, or connect an open ETABS model through StructaCAD ETABS Bridge on Windows. Geometry and design results are distinct inputs: import the available reinforcement results through the corresponding workflow and review the assignments before generating drawings.
Can I edit the output in AutoCAD?+
Yes. StructaCAD exports DXF drawings. Open them in AutoCAD to review the geometry, layers, dimensions and reinforcement details, apply your office standards, and save as DWG if needed. ETABS and AutoCAD licenses are separate.
Does StructaCAD replace my structural analysis?+
ETABS remains your structural analysis tool. StructaCAD connects your model with detailing, drawings and quantity takeoffs. The responsible engineer reviews the imported data, reinforcement and applicable project requirements before issuing drawings.
Can I work without an ETABS model?+
Yes. You can model directly in StructaCAD or use the available Midas Gen import workflow. You can then prepare drawings and quantity takeoffs from the geometry and reinforcement defined in the workspace.
When do I need a paid plan?+
