Hello all,

I want to model a 3D nuclear containment in SAP2000. This includes cylindrical shell + torispherical dome + circular raft. Please give a direction to do it in a less tedious way!
I have attached the layout for representation.
Thank you!

The best way to model this would be to use the SAP2000 Shells template. Create the necessaryifferent components in different files by File > New > Shells.
Import and combine the different components and make sure to verify that the shells are meshed together.
