Hi Everyone,
I am aware of the introduction of OAPI in ETABS and its powerful benefits. However, is there a way to access the command file of a model you have created in ETABS to modify it? Just like you can do in STAAD Pro, which allows you to create the model using GUI amd then you can...
Hello Everyone,
I am using SAP2000 to model a concrete box structure with horizontal loads on the top of it.
In order to include creep in my analysis I added the "Time Dependant Properties" in my concrete material and I used a "Nonlinear Static Staged Construction" as a load case.
In this...
Thank you for your answers, it is always very helpful.
I think that that might be the case, sap2000 does just an elastic analysis of the structure and for that might use just the modulus of concrete. I also checked the .$2k file of sap and during the analysis only the E of concrete was used.
Or to put it in another way:
E(reinforcement)+E(concrete)=E(composite) - E is the modulus of elasticity
Only when you know E you can do static analysis (including finding displacements).
But if you do not know the amount of steel you cannot find the E(composite).
My question is: which is the...
Hi everyone, could you help with a small inquiry? I'm trying to understand how SAP2000 works.
How does Sap2000 find the displacements of a reinforced concrete structure, let's say a concrete wall (shell)? As soon as the analysis is done sap gives you the displacements, right. But since you...
We use sap2000 or etabs.etabs is a structural only software.sap is for every enginiering science.
I know that this is the first and formal program.it is easy and it has the "help" tool which is very easy to use.
