# Requesting Implementation of CSI API in Future Builds and Extends support to more FEM Packages

## About CSI API
Computers and Structures, Inc.’s Application Programming Interface (API) has been launched by CSI which exposes all components for CSi Procucts all as whole.

## Why CSI API In Future builds
In future, Adapters and engines can be more efficiently utilised and can be extended to all CSI products especially for bridges, Plants and Post tensioning structures using CSI SAFE, CSI Bridge and CSI Plant. It will be game changer for Structural Analysis Package.

So in future more can be achieved for CSI products Engine and Adapters via BHOM environment with ditching SAP2000 and Etabs Toolkit as whole and cocentrate on more csi Products or maintaining for legacy versions of SAP2000 and ETABS
## Expectation
Similarly I am Requesting Developer teams to also implements Adapters and engines extend support to more FEM packages like ABAQUS and ANSYS

**More over this is my Humble request to Developer team as whole.**

please post me about this via this email
Thanks for being patience to go through my thoughts.
