Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) is astructural andearthquake engineering software company founded in 1975[1] and based inWalnut Creek, California, with additional office location inNew York.[2] Thestructural analysis anddesign software CSI produce include SAP2000, CSiBridge, ETABS, SAFE, PERFORM-3D, and CSiCOL.
One of Computer and Structure, Inc.'s software, ETABS, was used to create the mathematical model of theBurj Khalifa, currently the world's tallest building, designed byChicago, Illinois–basedSkidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM).[3] In theStructural analysis section of their December 2009Structural Engineer magazine article entitled "Design and construction of the world's tallest building: The Burj Dubai", since renamed to Burj Khalifa, William F. Baker, S.E. and James J. Pawlikowski, S.E. mention that gravity, wind, and seismic response were all characterized using ETABS. Further, ETABS' geometric nonlinear capability provided forP-delta effect consideration.[3]
