CSI Detail 20

Features of CSI Detail 20.0.0 Build 827:

• Automated Concrete Detailing: Specializes in generating detailed reinforcement drawings for concrete structures designed in ETABS.
• ETABS Integration: Directly links with ETABS models to extract design results and geometry for detailing.
• Reinforcement Cage Generation: Automatically creates rebar cage layouts for beams, columns, slabs, and walls based on ETABS design outputs.
• Plan and Elevation Views: Generates detailed plans, elevations, and sections of concrete members with reinforcement.
• Customizable Detailing Rules: Allows users to define and customize detailing rules, rebar sizes, spacing, cover, and stirrup configurations.
• Bar Bending Schedules (BBS): Automatically generates comprehensive bar bending schedules (BBS) for all detailed reinforcement.
• Drawing Annotation: Adds dimensions, rebar tags, section marks, and other annotations to drawings.
• Export to CAD: Exports detailed drawings in standard CAD formats (e.g., DWG, DXF) for further refinement in AutoCAD or other CAD software.
• Material Take-off: Provides an accurate quantity take-off for reinforcement steel.
• Multi-Storey Building Support: Handles detailing for multi-storey concrete buildings designed in ETABS.
• User-Friendly Interface: Graphical interface to review and modify generated details before export.

System Requirements (Estimated for CSI Detail 20.0.0 Build 827):

• Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit recommended), Windows 8.1 (64-bit), Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit).
• Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 or newer (recommended: multi-core processor, 2.0 GHz or faster).
• RAM: 4 GB minimum (recommended: 8 GB or more, especially when detailing large or complex concrete structures).
• Disk Space: 2 GB or more of available disk space for installation and generated drawing files.
• Display: 1024 x 768 resolution (recommended: 1920 x 1080 or higher).
• Graphics Card: Standard graphics card (integrated or dedicated) capable of displaying the recommended resolution.
• Internet Connection: Required for license activation, updates, and online technical resources.
• Compatible ETABS Version: Requires a licensed installation of ETABS (compatible version) to generate details from the analysis model.
• Compatible CAD Software: If using for further editing, a licensed installation of AutoCAD (or other supported CAD platforms) is recommended.

CSI Detail's performance is closely tied to the complexity of the ETABS model it's processing. Larger, more intricate concrete structures will benefit from higher RAM and processor speeds.
