Base Plate Column analysis in SAP2000

[mekafime]

Hi,

I try to find the graphic Moment-rotation from SAP2000, I'm modeling a Base Plate Column with shell element, this model has Axial force and moment, I'm using Non linear analysis, please I need help with this.

Thanks.

Hi
I do not know SAP but maybe SAP does not show you this directly !?!?
You have to apply a certain moment and then read the rotation....
repeat this for different values for moment and at the end you get the moment-rotation graph



best regards

How software do you recomend?

Well...I am sure there is many software on the market
One that can do it is for example
IDEA StatiCa
