Automation and Genetic Algorithm Optimization for Seismic Modeling and Analysis of Tall RC Buildings

This article presents an innovative approach to optimizing the seismic modeling and analysis of high-rise buildings by automating the process with Python 3.13 and the ETABS 22.1.0 API. The process begins with the collection of information on the base building, a structure of seventeen regular levels...
