Build a stronger analysis workflow
Understand the structure.
Explain the result.
Develop the habit of asking what each input represents and whether each result makes sense. Connect the model to its load path, assumptions and design basis.
Practise a repeatable workflow for building frames, floors and foundation studies. Review your work with the trainer and organise the outputs into a clear project record.
Read beyond the colour plot
Check analysis messages, loads, reactions and structural response before interpreting design output.
Make the workflow traceable
Record the design basis, selected settings and reviewed results in a useful training report.
What are ETABS and SAFE? ETABS is CSI's integrated software for building analysis and design. SAFE focuses on floor systems and foundations. Learn how the two workflows connect while reviewing the assumptions and information transferred between models.

From structural model to reviewed output
Your ETABS & SAFE
course curriculum.
Build practical software skills around a connected engineering workflow. Confirm the training hours, project scope, software builds and code editions in your course plan.
01 ETABS foundations, grids & storeys Begin with a clear structural model
- Set units, grids and storey levels from the training brief.
- Navigate plan, elevation and 3D views; organise files and modelling references.
- Check connectivity, member locations and the intended load path.
Practice output: an organised building model.
02 Materials, sections & structural systems Represent the structure deliberately
- Define concrete, reinforcement and suitable member sections.
- Model beams, columns, slabs and walls; assign diaphragms and wall labels.
- Discuss meshing, releases and stiffness assumptions with the trainer.
Practice output: a reviewed model with documented assumptions.
03 Gravity loads, mass source & combinations Connect inputs to the analysis
- Assign appropriate dead, live and other gravity loads.
- Review self-weight settings and define a consistent mass source.
- Build load patterns, cases and combinations for the agreed design basis.
Practice output: a transparent loading schedule.
04 Wind, seismic & dynamic analysis Understand lateral behaviour
- Explore wind and seismic load definitions for a selected code edition.
- Run modal and response-spectrum studies within the agreed project scope.
- Review mode shapes, participating mass, storey response and torsional behaviour.
Practice output: a reviewed lateral-analysis study.
05 Analysis checks, P-Delta & result interpretation Ask whether the model makes sense
- Review analysis messages, connectivity and support conditions.
- Discuss P-Delta assumptions and compare appropriate analysis cases.
- Interpret deformed shapes, member forces, reactions and storey drift.
Practice output: an analysis review with selected result tables.
06 Concrete frame & shear-wall design Follow the selected design basis
- Confirm the design code, preferences and design combinations.
- Review beam, column and wall design output and flagged checks.
- Revise the model and discuss reinforcement requirements with trainer guidance.
Practice output: a documented member-design study.
07 SAFE transfer, floor slabs & punching shear Continue from the building to its floors
- Transfer an agreed floor or foundation model and reconcile geometry, units and loads.
- Develop slab meshes, design strips and reinforcement studies in SAFE.
- Review punching shear and deflection for the selected slab exercise.
Practice output: a checked slab-analysis study.
08 Footings, mat foundations & soil support Connect reactions to foundation studies
- Explore isolated, combined or mat foundation exercises as agreed.
- Use supplied geotechnical assumptions when defining soil supports.
- Review soil pressure, punching shear and reinforcement output in SAFE.
Practice output: a foundation study with stated assumptions.
09 Project review, documentation & current tools Explain the complete workflow
- Connect the model, loading basis, selected analysis cases and design outputs.
- Prepare organised tables, views and a concise project report.
- Discuss current ETABS tools, revision tracking and your next learning steps.
Practice output: an organised training project presentation.
Keep the design basis visible. Exercises use agreed loads, assumptions and code editions. Learn to review these inputs and discuss their relevance to the project, alongside the software steps.

questions, answered.
Who can join the ETABS and SAFE course?
The course is suited to civil engineering students, graduates, structural engineers and site engineers developing structural-software skills. Share your background so admissions can recommend the right starting level.
Can I join as a beginner in ETABS?
Yes. Beginners in the software can enquire. A foundation in structural mechanics, loads and reinforced-concrete behaviour is useful. Discuss any theory preparation you need before selecting the batch.
Does this course cover SAFE as well as ETABS?
The pathway includes ETABS building analysis and SAFE slab and foundation studies. Confirm the training hours, software coverage and project exercises in your written course plan.
Will I learn wind, seismic analysis and shear-wall design?
Discuss wind and seismic loading, modal and response-spectrum studies, storey response and concrete shear-wall design with admissions. The selected code edition and exercise depth are confirmed in your syllabus.
Which design codes will be used in training?
The trainer and course plan establish the design basis and code editions for each exercise. ACI, ASCE and Eurocode workflows may be discussed where supported. Requirements for a real project depend on its jurisdiction and engineering brief.
Will I complete a practical building project?
Agree a building brief with admissions and the trainer. Connect modelling, load assumptions, analysis checks, selected design outputs and SAFE studies into an organised training project.
Can I attend from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ajman or elsewhere in the GCC?
Enquire about Sharjah classroom training or online live options. Share your city, time zone, preferred timing and language so the team can confirm an available batch.
What are the ETABS course fees, hours and batch timings?
Request the current syllabus and fee quotation for total training hours, ETABS and SAFE coverage, project scope and start dates. Ask about evening or weekend options and Tabby or Tamara payment availability.
Which certificate will I receive?
Ask admissions about the CADD International completion certificate and its requirements. Confirm eligible KHDA attestation and additional charges with your quotation. A course completion certificate records training; professional registration has separate requirements.
Which computer and software setup do I need?
Check the current CSI system requirements for the ETABS and SAFE builds used in your batch. Share your Windows computer specifications and confirm training access, personal licences and any educational eligibility before enrolling.
