Before you begin

A few useful answers.

Does CSI Tools replace SAP2000 or ETABS?

No. It works with a compatible installed program and its running model. You still need your own SAP2000 or ETABS licence.

Do all tools work in both programs?

No. The catalogue identifies program-specific tools. Frames to Cables is for SAP2000; Replicate Frames is for ETABS. Confirm supported versions and licensed features for your release.

Is there an installer?

The planned distribution is a portable Windows application. Final release instructions will describe the files and prerequisites required.

Can I use generated combinations without checking them?

Review the selected standard, load classifications, factors and project requirements. Automation assists model preparation; it does not replace the engineer’s verification.

Where can I find pricing and support?

Commercial pricing and verified support contact details will be published with the official release.
