## Etabs Introduction <a href="#gsa-introduction" id="gsa-introduction"></a>

​**ETABS** is an engineering software product that caters to multi-story building analysis and design. Modeling tools and templates, code-based load prescriptions, analysis methods and solution techniques, all coordinate with the grid-like geometry unique to this class of structure.

GeometryGym provides a way of parametrically defining and developing Etabs models using Grasshopper. The plug-in can also be used to import and modify existing Etabs models in a dynamic and parametric way.
