ETABS Codex Assistant is a local engineering integration that connects Codex directly to ETABS through the ETABS API, enabling engineers to control structural modeling and analysis using natural-language instructions.
Key Capabilities:
- Create complete structural models in ETABS.
- Define stories, grids, materials, sections, beams, columns, slabs, walls, and structural elements.
- Create and modify complex structural geometry.
- Assign loads, load cases, mass sources, and load combinations.
- Run ETABS structural analysis.
- Review displacements, story drifts, reactions, forces, and modal results.
- Perform and review concrete and steel frame design.
- Inspect model geometry, assignments, connectivity, warnings, and errors.
- Modify existing ETABS models through controlled operations.
- Create protected working copies and checkpoints before major changes.
- Execute multi-step engineering workflows through Codex.
- Return structured and traceable analysis and design results.
- Operate locally on the user's computer using the ETABS API.
- No separate OpenAI API key is required by the plugin.
