ETAP 18.1.1 includes new features and improvements to enhance software performance and the user experience. This upgrade adds to the extensive list of new features and capabilities of the ETAP 18 series.
Increased performance & speed
Incremental model import from Revit® BIM
Detailed conversion from SKM PowerTools®
Expanded eTrax™ Rail Traction System features
Faster run-time calculation speed
Improved Plot Manager accessing study files over a local network
Library Access Time
This release includes a built-in feature that automatically defrags and compacts ETAP library files to allow for faster library access and speed. This enhancement resolves the slow scan response of the library file by Windows Defender Antivirus program.
Faster Project Load, Save & Backup
Project load and save duration is shortened through enhanced use of files and memory, to speed up performance. Improved project access and backup reliability when connecting over a slow network.
Improved Calculation Speed
The speed of the calculations is improved through the implementation and use of new techniques. The run-time speed is noticeably faster on larger project sizes when performing Load Flow, Motor Starting, Harmonics, Harmonics, Reliability Assessment, Transient Stability and other analysis.
