importing data from ideCAD to etab

[ce.mesutergul]

Hello, What do you think might be the reason for the difference between analyzing a model by first modeling it with idecad and then assigning it to etabse and modeling it from scratch on etabs? I am building a model from scratch based on Günay Özmen's book on etabs. . But I still get different results from the analysis I made by transferring from idecad to etabs. what would be the reason? In the etabs program, which I modeled from scratch, the translations and periods are slightly higher. note: my model consists entirely of reinforced concrete frames. There is no curtain.

Etabs overestimates because Etabs extends the weights of the beams up to the middle of the column. ideCAD is working with real weights. Etabs may be overestimating the structure weight.

Re: transferring data from idecad to etab yes sir that is one of the reasons, but what else could it be?

yes, that is one of the reasons, but what else could it be?

Material geometry and loads are the same in both programs If you do the comparison with SAP, not ETABS, the model will be under your control. If you want to create a full ideCAD model, transfer the model from ideCAD to the sap network.
