Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI), is pleased to announce the availability of Detail version 18.0.0 build 1034 is an integrated and interactive software product for generating detailing output, such as detailed views, drawings, bills of materials (BOM), and bills of quantities (BOQ) from ETABS models.

CSiDetail creates a detailed model of the structure, based on its analysis model and the design process carried out in ETABS. It automatically generates views and drawings that can be used as the basis for preparing final engineering drawings, as well as BIM files for use in BIM tools. Detailing can be carried out both for concrete and steel buildings.

CONCRETE STRUCTURES
CSiDetail generates reinforcement details for slabs, beams, columns, and walls, grouping similar beams and columns in the process.

Reinforcement details are presented in the form of tables and schedules for groups of components, as well as drawn in plans, elevations, and sections for individual elements.

The rebar cage of individual components or the entire structure can be viewed in an interactive 3D model, showing individual rebars in true 3D coordinates.

CUSTOMIZABLE DETAILING RULES

Detailing is carried out based on an extensive set of preferences and rules to control bar-size selection, spacing, curtailment, and placement.

Preferences and rules can be user-defined, conforming to various design codes and local practice. This provides full customization capability for controlling how detailing is carried out and output is generated.

EDITING CAPABILITIES

CSiDetail has extensive capabilities for editing reinforcement. Generated views can be edited or formatted as needed.

Drawings can be generated automatically for selected floors and components or created individually by combining required views. Both drawings and individual views can be exported as DXF files to CAD programs or printed directly.

STEEL STRUCTURES

Framing plans, framing elevations and sections are generated automatically, and presented in tabular format. Elevations and sections of individual beams and columns are also available if needed.
