Sirs!

I have a little trouble: I need to draw goemetry of a steel penstock wye branch using Autocad2002 and export it to SAP2000 to be analized... What kind of entities (such a 3Dface, mesh, etc.) should I use to be compatible with SAP?

I've been reading SAP manuals, I can't find the way... would you help me?

thanks a lot.

Heyner. :-(
