To help students become familiar with some of the numerous aspects and features of SAP2000, the following tutorial will focus on determining the forces in each member of the
Now we have a material named OTHER that has no weight per volume. Examine how the principles of DfAM upend many of the long-standing rules around manufacturability - allowing engineers and designers to place a parts function at the center of their design considerations. In addition, dynamic (time-history) loading can also be generated to include inertial effects as the wave moves through the structure. In general, however, a link with fixed DOF should not be directly connected to other objects with fixed DOF, or to joints within a constraint condition. steps is not critical; however, all step should be completed before execution of

Step 4. Frame to shell connections The linear static analysis of a structure involves the solution of the system of linear equations represented by K u = r. Certain types of load patterns are multi-stepped, meaning that they actually represent many separate spatial loading patterns applied in sequence. If you right click on B on this deformed shape, you can see the magnitudes of the deformations at the joint (Fig11). In this example, we are interested only in the
For example, if the nodes of a ramp and a wall do not match up, SAP2000 will internally connect all mismatched meshes using the algorithm to act as a zipper between the elements.
