Answers: 1) No. Unfortunately SAP2000 doesn't consider torsion in the design of steel profiles. Incredible, but true! (Risa3d, Strap or Staad does) 2)yes. It´s possible. You have to contact CSI and try to get the MS Excel program that generate the '.pro' files. 3) yes. You can account for the...

Hi folks, SAP2000 V9 I´m trying to do a nonlinear static analysis with P-Delta (no material nonlinearity yet). I need some help. During analysis and in the '.log' file SAP2k V9 presents some information not reported or explained in the manuals. Here they are (resumed to show only the...

I can help you. But, please, go strait to the point. What analysis are You tring to do? Extract the natural vibration modes? Steady State analysis? PSD? Spectrum analysis? You´ve to be more especific. Thanks ECStruct

Hi friends, Let me ask for help in two simple topics. You will see I'm on the first steps of SAP2k learning curve : 1) I want to learn how to use the compression limit command in SAP 2000 8.3. I'm running a simple model analysis and want to make the bracing system acting like tension-only...

Hi. How can I define de beams lengths in SAP2k steel posprocessing? Or: does SAP calculate the members stresses along the real span (say: truss longitudinal elements) automaticaly? or only at sub-spans? Thanks in advance and sorry the poor english! MCERQ.

Hi. I would like to create a model of a slab on elastic foundation. Does anyone knows how to do it using ANSYS? Is the "EFS" propertie of the elements the way? (I used shell63) I tried to do with de EFS and without displacement boundary conditions. It wasn´t a sucessuful way. How do...

Hi, I'm looking for freeware softwares or spreadsheets containing routines of design of steel sections with AISI or AISC (structural engineering). Does anyone knows where I can find any of these softs? Thanks in advance. Mcerq.

Hi! I'm trying to export a model to a CAD program, like AutoCAD. Does anyone knows how to do this with ANSYS. Thanks in advance. Cerque.

Hi, Staad is new to me. How to do extraction of modal parameters, like frequencies, modal mass and modal participation factors in Staad? How to input a mass value at a node? Thanks very much, in advance. mcerq

Hi All, Can anyone help me to find a good text concerning modeling/analising structures with the FEA? (Sorry my POOR english) Thanks. M.

Thank You very much. M.

Hi. I have tow basic questions and I hope someone could help me. 1) What's the best way to simulate higher axial stiffness of the columns of a frame? - If I use the "rod constraint", the axial results will be output as zero. - Using a modfication factor to mutiply the cross sectional...
