In This lesson we are going to learn how to start a new project.

1
00:07.880 --> 00:12.120
In ETABS. To start a new project.

2
00:12.290 --> 00:18.790
Go to the File menu, then click on New Model. On the Model Form

3
00:18.890 --> 00:24.610
we have 3 options And because this first model we will be building,

4
00:24.740 --> 00:27.840
We are going to choose a third option.

5
00:27.850 --> 00:34.840
However the second option is very useful and it could save more than 30 percent of
the time in buildings.

6
00:34.850 --> 00:43.370
Although this option means that you can use a previous project as a template so our
materials load

7
00:43.370 --> 00:49.840
patterns load combinations and section of this project will be defined
automatically in your current

8
00:49.850 --> 00:51.370
project

9
00:51.610 --> 01:01.800
Now for display units I'm going to use the metric SI units and for concrete design
code I'm going to use

10
01:01.880 --> 01:05.780
a.c.i three hundred eighteen dash forten.

11
01:05.850 --> 01:12.900
Now Click the okay button to display the model quick template form. in this form

12
01:12.900 --> 01:16.740
These text boxes would be used to specify our grid line data.

13
01:17.080 --> 01:23.040
However we are going to start our model from a blank screen because we will learn
how

14
01:23.050 --> 01:28.330
to import the grids later from AutoCAD. As it much better and faster

15
01:29.010 --> 01:35.300
So all we will worry about are the number of stories and the story heights,
In our example,

16
01:35.340 --> 01:41.960
we have a 19 story building so that we will set the number of stories equal to 19.

17
01:42.330 --> 01:48.960
Also, Change the typical story height which in our case is 3.2 Meter.

18
01:48.960 --> 01:53.190
And change the button story height which in our case is 4 meter.

19
01:53.430 --> 02:01.530
You can also change any story height by choosing custom story data. then click edit
story data

20
02:01.830 --> 02:04.760
the program will open the form of all stories level

21
02:05.010 --> 02:12.750
so you can change any story height if you need.Also, you can adjust similar story,

22
02:12.750 --> 02:15.630
but I will talk about that form later in detail.

23
02:16.470 --> 02:19.770
So I'm going to cancel that.

24
02:19.800 --> 02:25.770
Now Click blank button. then click ok.

25
02:25.830 --> 02:30.150
Now we can see the windows have opened up the first one.

26
02:30.160 --> 02:33.920
is the model explorer,

27
02:34.330 --> 02:43.900
the second is a plan view window, and the third one is a 3d view window. If we
closed the model explorer we can

28
02:43.900 --> 02:49.420
open it again by clicking on the options menu then click show model explorer.

29
02:49.720 --> 02:55.340
Now as you can see the model explorer has shown up again.

30
02:55.440 --> 02:59.980
Also you can add a new window by clicking on window list button.

31
03:00.790 --> 03:08.560
Then click add new window as you can see a new window has been added to our model.

32
03:09.310 --> 03:11.380
Now to save our Project.

33
03:11.890 --> 03:16.750
Go to the File menu then click save.

34
03:16.750 --> 03:19.160
Here you can choose a name for your project

35
03:22.700 --> 03:26.260
now choose the location where you want to save it.

36
03:26.800 --> 03:27.840
Then click save.

37
03:32.280 --> 03:33.010
now.

38
03:33.260 --> 03:36.500
It is in the end of our lesson, in the next lesson

39
03:36.510 --> 03:39.550
You are going to learn how to define the material properties.
