What is ETABS MATE?
ETABS MATE® is a
powerful and exceptionally fast software solution for the automatic
detailing of reinforced concrete structures and the generation of
professional structural drawings. Built around a modern and
intuitive graphical environment, it transforms ETABS analysis and
design results into detailed reinforcement layouts and high-quality
structural drawings with remarkable speed and efficiency.
With about 15 years of
development and extensive use by structural engineers, ETABS MATE®
has been applied to a wide range of concrete projects in numerous
countries and diverse project environments. Its combination of
speed, automation, and detailed control makes it suitable for both
everyday building projects and large-scale and complex concrete
structures.
With ETABS
MATE®, engineers can interactively review their structural models
and design results, configure reinforcement parameters, develop
detailed reinforcement layouts, and automatically generate complete
structural drawings in just a few seconds. The software can
efficiently process projects of virtually any size, including
projects based on design envelopes obtained from multiple ETABS
design files.
ETABS MATE®
generates professional AutoCAD-compatible structural drawings ready
for further review and editing. The software also provides
comprehensive engineering reports, including structural material
lists, Joint Shear Ratio reports, Development Length of Hooked Rebar
reports, and other detailed project reports. Some examples of
structural drawings generated by ETABS MATE® are presented below.
