Lets say that version 14.2.4 file was created in the computer A and the computer B has SAP v14.1.0 installed.
- Make sure computer B has the same regional configuration (decimal separator) of computer A. If it is not possible to check, take a look to the file created in computed B and identify decimal separator. Then you have two options a) Change regional configuration in computer B according to computer A. b) Change decimal separator in .s2k file according to computer B (find and replace). If you select the last option, make sure that the string containing version is period-separated and the string containing units is comma-separated, regardless decimal separator, as shown bellow:
TABLE: "PROGRAM CONTROL"
ProgramName=SAP2000 Version=14.2.4 CurrUnits="KN, m, C" ...
- Change the string contatining version to the desired release. In this case:
TABLE: "PROGRAM CONTROL"
ProgramName=SAP2000 Version=14.1.0 CurrUnits="KN, m, C" ...
- Make sure desired default units for the model are selected in SAP2000 graphic user interface (bottom-right).
- Try to import the model.
- Let us know any trouble.

I think it can do a nice dynamical analysis, chain-like but geometrically non linear and large deflection, and then see how the shape would be moving from where it started.
And the same, but static, is what be have been doing. Yet of course, finds a particular solution corresponding to our loading. Since it finds equilibrium, SAP2000 is not worried for the structure pertaining to a set able to take variegate equilibriums with other loadings, it is only concerned with what at hand.
