1) Prepare a program (sap2000 file) that is ready to run. Do not run the prorom though.
2) Write (export) the details of the program to a text file.
3)Within this text file, find the relevant values that you ll change when running the program for the next run. And Save this new file...
Hi Harry,
I imported the files whose format I prepared using fortran then the students helped me to run the pro.s and get the desired output out of SAP2000.
I have talked to Mr. Habibullah when I h<d a chance during a seminer he was giving. He told me to write him an email and he would reply...
Dear Rawand,
Thanks so much for your kind help but
I was looking for more specific and
detailed info about the modeling issues
of shear wall type buildings.
I ll also let you know of if I somehow
learn the subject more in depth.
Take care
Kamil
Hi,
I had had the same problem. I had to run
over 1000 cases of nonlinear analysis using
SAP2000.
I did excatly what you said in your post but
luckily there were several students helping
with the prob. :P
Best wishes,
Kamil
hello all
what you think of as the best program for
performing pushover analysis in terms
of simplicty and coverage of model elements??
thanks so much for helping hand.

Dear forum members,
Is there a method to evaluate the performance
of an existing building made of mainly shear walls
for a possible future earthquake? The structure is used for sports events and has spans of 36x37 meters.
I know we could use push over analysis for regular moment resisiting...
heya all
can anyone tell me how to perform a pushover anlysisi using sap nonlinear version?
Or better, is there anybody who has done a real life example of push over analysis and kindly send me the input files.
this is for educational purposes.
i appreciate any consideration or help...
Hi,
Scale Factor is generally used when converting the unit of a specific ground motion. If your earthquake data have the units you like, then Scale factor is simply equal to 1.0.

Hello all,
I had written a Fortran program linking to IMSL libraries to use a couple of subroutines in there. But my university has ended the license agreement and I am now unable to compile and run my program.
The subroutines I use are:
BCLSJ and
U4LSF
Does anybody have any suggestions or...
Dear Forum Members,
Does anobody know if SAP2000 has a command line support?
I need to run many cases, which will take too much of time if I use SAP2000 GUI but if I prepare the input data files using an editor and run them in command line using SAP2000, (such as using SAP90)it would make a...
