Ways to integrate with ETABS

Install a plugin for ETABS

Use the Speckle connector to exchange data and objects with other tools as you design.

Download plugin

Send ETABS data to other CAD and BIM tools

Grasshopper

ETABS objects are loaded in Grasshopper, in their respective collections (structured layers by level, category, and type).
Objects can then be plugged into existing Grasshopper workflows.

Rhino

Send ETABS models into Rhino as mesh and curve geometry.
ETABS objects are organized into layers by type (joints, frames, shells).

Power BI

Send ETABS objects to Power BI to create dashboards using section properties, material assignments, and release/restraint data.
Analysis results (reactions, forces, drifts) are not available as table rows in Power BI. Use Grasshopper to consume analysis results.

Speckle boosts your ETABS workflows

Collaborate across 12+ apps

Publish ETABS models to (and load models from) Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, and beyond. Work with teammates using different tools, staying in sync with their updates.

Export analysis results for post-processing design

Engineering design begins after ETABS analysis results are available. Publishing these results with the model enables post-processing in any chosen environment.

Automate ETABS workflows

From creating extruded views of elements, computing embodied carbon, running coordination and clash detection, to corresponding models and even performing design checks (e.g., concrete column design), use Speckle to automate anything you want.

Quantitative model insights

The published semantic data is enriched with geometric and volumetric information, enabling quantitative analysis and visualization in tools like Speckle Intelligence. Combined with versioning history, this approach makes design development accessible to all engineers, not just analysis specialists.
