hi all,
I've 2 questions related with SAP2000.
1. How to model the 20 node brick solid with sap2000?
2. In order to verify the results from an example in a book for finite elements. I need to model and analyse the plate member.The figure of problem is in attached file(plate.jpg) the DOF for nodes are shown in attached DOF.jpg file. For each node there is 4 DOF , Z dir displacement, X, Y, and XY Rotations, plate thickeness is 1 , E = 10.92, Poisson ratio = 0.3.
Based on those facts,I'm wondering how to apply those twisting moment shown in figure with double arrows? It seems that they are identical with moment in Y direction?
Help will be appreciated.
