    shell forces

    Listen... Try to be more polite. And I asked for "N forces" and Daniel said that "Normal Forces: prefix F" then dawn said "N stand for normal force in shell section" That was not very clear to me.... I know basic thery of stryctures, but in Italy we use quite a different simbology. So sorry if...

    Yes, and what does N stand for? I don't understand it thanks

    shell forces

    Hi, when I open the "element force/stress contour for shell" dialog, I find the option to choose M1 M2... but I don't know what N1 N2 and N12 are. I've looked in the manual but I've found nothing. thanks

    cable and modal analysis

    Hi, could you please explain better what do you mean with: "Modal analysis can capture behavior which can then be used for a nonlinear analysis." Do I have to apply to the structure a force (in the non linear analysis) with the same frequency that I found on the modal analysis? thanks

    cable and modal analysis

    Hi everybody, I would like to make a modal analysis of a structure to find its frequencies, the problem is that the cable element, as stated in the help, is used only in nonlinear combinations, so if you put a cable, the modal analysis will thing, and this is wrong, that it is a frame with...

    p-elements, h-elements

    Hi, what kind of shell/solid elements does sap2000 use? Constant strain, linear strain? thanks

    "element force/stress contour for shell" what's N1"

    Hi, when I open the "element force/stress contour for shell" dialog, I find the option to choose M1 M2... but I don't know what N1 N2 and N12 are. I've looked in the manual but I've found nothing. thanks
