ETABS is a powerful structural analysis and design tools for civil engineers. In Bangladesh this software is being used vastly by structural engineers. In B.Sc Engineering degree there is a 1.5 credit course on computer aided design in which ETABS and/or STAAD.Pro is being taught. It is really very disappointing that there is no textbook published on ETABS in Bangladesh as well as in other countries.
All we can find is tutorials and manuals. This Page will help the reader to go through different features of ETABS and how to design a complete building structure in ETABS.
All of these will be based on ACI 318 code which is similar to Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC). If there is any dissimilarities then ACI code will prevail since BNBC is not included in ETABS. Trailer: How powerfull ETABS 2015 is.
The exercises that follow reflect the dual focus of the manual—both anatomical and physiological aspects receive considerable attention. Marieb lab manual 10th edition.
Peer review suggested that we mesh our model manually. What should we do? Answer: Automatic and manual will produce comparable results.

Manual meshing is much more time consuming. Further, the sophisticated automatic-meshing procedures of Software may even produce a more efficient and reliable mesh. Controls are available to manually refine an automatic mesh. Mesh refinement may improve the modeling and analysis of regions with stress concentrations, extreme force gradients, member connections, etc.
Perhaps you could create two simple models, mesh one automatically and one manually, then demonstrate to the reviewers that the two methods produce comparable results. This should indicate that it is not necessary to mesh the entire design manually.
