지진방재 연구에 활용되는 해석 소프트웨어의 종류와 용도에 대한 설명입니다.

Software

Perform 3D

Perform 3D

  • ▪ 사용용도: 구조물 비선형 해석 및 내진 성능 평가
  • ▪ 제작회사: Computers & Structures
  • Used primarily in structural and earthquake engineering, PERFORM-3D is an advanced software dedicated to nonlinear analysis and Performance-Based Design (PBD). It is not a general-purpose design tool; instead, it focuses on simulating how complex structures behave under severe earthquake loading. Engineers use it to evaluate whether a building will meet specific safety criteria, such as collapse prevention, by accurately modeling the post-yield, inelastic behaviors of structural components.
ETABS

ETABS

  • ▪ 사용용도: 건축 구조물 통합 해석 및 설계
  • ▪ 제작회사: Computers & Structures
  • ETABS is the industry standard for the structural analysis and design of commercial and residential buildings. Widely used in architectural and structural engineering, it is specifically optimized for multi-story building systems. It streamlines the complex modeling process for floors, shear walls, and steel frames. Engineers rely heavily on ETABS to analyze the effects of lateral loads, like wind and seismic forces, making it an essential tool for designing safe high-rise structures.
SAP2000

SAP2000

  • ▪ 사용용도: 범용 유한요소 해석 및 설계
  • ▪ 제작회사: Computers & Structures
  • Used in broad civil and structural engineering fields, SAP2000 is a highly versatile, general-purpose 3D finite element analysis (FEA) and design software. Unlike ETABS, which strictly focuses on buildings, SAP2000 is ideal for complex, non-traditional structures such as bridges, stadiums, dams, and industrial facilities. It offers a flexible modeling environment and powerful analytical engines, allowing engineers to perform both static and dynamic analyses for practically any type of structural system.
MIDAS

MIDAS

  • ▪ 사용용도: 건축/토목 통합 구조 해석 및 최적 설계
  • ▪ 제작회사: 마이다스아이티 (MIDAS IT)
  • MIDAS is a comprehensive software suite used extensively in civil and structural engineering globally. MIDAS Gen focuses on general building structures, while MIDAS Civil is highly specialized for bridge design and analysis. Known for its highly intuitive user interface and fast processing speed, it covers everything from basic structural analysis to optimal design detailing. It is widely favored by engineers for practical, day-to-day modeling, offering highly efficient workflows.
