Dear Jason,
Thank you for your response. Actually, the envelope combination is not intended for design:

Hi everyone.
After very thorough research in the forum, the web and the program's documentation, I come up starting a new thread to ask for help.
Is SAP2000 capable to display the Shells Reinforcement Envelope of all the load combinations? It is really easy to display the Shells Reinforcement...
Make sure that you have opted for thick shell elements: Define > Section Properties > Area Sections. Select "Shell" and click to "Add New Section". Select "Shell - Thick".
A very classic book is "Finite Element Procedures" by Klaus-Jürgen Bathe. If you prefer something simpler, you could take a look at feaforall.com website.
