I am trying to automate the data extraction process from SAP2000 or ETABS using their API. I am not much experienced with Python, but I am reading online that it can be done through Python scripts, which also help in modifying the models automatically to represent the retrofit conditions. Please...

Thank you, everyone for the suggestions. Are there any open source program available to perform pipe stress analysis?

Here is the url: https://www.csiamerica.com/products/sap2000 The SAP2000 program is not a pipe stress program, but a structural analysis program, whose applicability can be potentially expanded to pipe stress analysis.

What pipe stress program are you referring to? I guess the stiffness factors, etc. for pipe joints won't be included in SAP2000, but I have to apply them manually. So I was asking if anyone has done that using SAP2000.

Hi All, I am new to pipe stress analysis and currently reading the textbook on Pipe Stress Engineering by Dr. Peng to develop the understanding. Eventually I plan to perform the analysis in a computer program preferably SAP2000 as that is available to me. Regarding that, I am looking for...

Thank you JStephen for your response. But I could not access the paper, do you have it?

Thank you WARose. I am not still sure how to calculate the sloshing velocity.Can I use the response spectra and the convective period (Tc) to determine the sloshing velocity?

Thank you everyone for the help. I was going through the 'Design of Liquid-Containing Concrete Structures for Earthquake Forces', by: Munshi as recommended by WARose, I figured out I need to consider an added mass in the submerged elements to account for the impulsive component and drag forces...

Hi Everyone, I am looking for some references in the literature that talks about the seismic design forces to be considered for submerged structural (columns at the center of the tank supporting the tank roof) or nonstructural (baffler in wastewater clarifier, etc.) components that are present...
