Create Automation Apps for ETABS & SAP2000 with Python

Streamline your structural engineering workflows by automating repetitive tasks! In this webinar, we'll explore how to leverage Python with ETABS and SAP2000 to enhance productivity and efficiency.

In this webinar, you will discover how to make more powerful structural engineering automation tools using Python and the ETABS/SAP2000 API. Go beyond simple Python scripts, Excel sheets, and Jupyter Notebooks to create real automation apps that impact your team.

We will also show an app created by VINCI Constructions that designs crane foundations 64x faster than before. The app integrates Grasshopper, Excel, Python, Robot Structural Analysis, automatically generating production drawings and structural reports.

During the session, we'll cover:

- Real-world automation tools developed by practicing structural engineers
- Automation opportunities in pre-processing, model building, post-processing, and reporting
- How to integrate better with other disciplines, such as architecture, geotechnical engineering, BIM, and more.
- Techniques for creating user-friendly apps that benefit your entire team using @viktor-platform and Python.
