How To Draw Arch Beam In ETABS By AutoCad

In this tutorial video, we will explain how to draw an arc-shaped non-prismatic steel beam. In ETABS you can draw an arched beam in the plan, but if you want to draw the same beam in Elevation it is better to use AutoCAD and then import it into ETABS as dxf file. You can divide the arched beam into, for example, 10 parts, but keep in mind that you must define and assign a non-prismatic section for each part.
