    SAP2000 API using MATLAB - A Simple Question

    Hi SinaPeugeot, You can hide SAP2000 GUI from Matlab: Visible = SapObject.Visible You can also use the advanced solver: SolverType = 1; % 0 = Standard 1 = Advanced Force32BitSolver = false(); ret = SapModel.Analyze.SetSolverOption(SolverType, Force32BitSolver); Running SAP2000 from one...

    SAP2000 API using MATLAB - A Simple Question

    Hi SinaPeugeot, Instead of creating one model, you can create and save hundreds of models. These models are then analyzed in SAP2000 using command line. To do this, create one or several batch files (a batch file is a text file with extension .bat) according to...

    SAP2000 API using MATLAB - A Simple Question

    Hi SinaPeugeot, I'm just an enthusiast. Some tips to speed up your analyses according to my experience: - To run a few hundreds of models using 100% of all your CPU's cores and threads is better to use several batch files calling SAP2000 from command line a lot of times each...

    SAP2000 API using MATLAB - Time History Analysis

    newtonthegreat It didn't work in my machine. Sometimes to learn the syntax of other commands, I've tried reading data provided by GET method before using SET method. For example, try the method GetNonPrismatic in a existing file, so you can see the expected arguments to be used in the function...

    SAP2000 API using MATLAB - Time History Analysis

    newtonthegreat, You're right, that's the problem. Now the multilinear force-defomation data is like this: qy1 = Structure.BRB_qy1(i); qy2 = Structure.BRB_qy2(i); qy3 = qy2 * (1 + 1e-10); At the end of the day, SAP2000 can't handle as many decimal places as Matlab (16) and the NLink curve in...
