Mass and stiffness matrices in SAP2000
Mass and stiffness matrices in SAP2000
(OP)
I have a 15 story concrete building modelled in SAP2000. Is it possible to get the program to tell me the mass and stiffness of each floor, i.e. I need the mass and stiffness matrices of the building. I have assigned diaphragm to each floor. Is it sufficient to tell SAP that I am looking for lumped mass at the floor and would like to get 15x15 mass and stiffness matrices? Thank you.

This information in avalable in basic Dynamic Analysis Textbook.
As future engineer, you sould be able to assemble Stiffness and Mass Matrix by hand for these kind of problem !

Just my two cents...
