Etabs & Oapi

The document outlines a training on using the Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) in ETABS to optimize workflows. The training covers introducing APIs and object-oriented programming, using basic routines to define models, extract analysis results, and perform design. It also provides worked examples for more complex routines like element optimization, parameter calibration, and integrating ETABS with other applications.
