(OP)
Dear all,
I need to analyse a continuous Beam of 3 spans (31mts) each, the problem is there is an identical curve in each span in elevation.
My question is, will this be possible in SAP 2000 & how?

RE: SAP 2000

Well, it's certainly possible. I don't know if SAP has a true "curved beam" element. But, at the very least you can create a series of beams that approximate the curves and are connected to each other. That should give you a reasonable approximation of the curve while maintaining continuity across spans.
