SAP2000 output report files - comparison to Zencad/StruCAD output

[brhesson]

Hello fellow Engineers,

I have an issue I've had some difficulty fixing. Our office is looking to transition from StruCAD modeling to SAP2000 and we are very under-satisfied with the Report output. I get 20+ pages and no real summary of stressed members or unity checks per member types as I would get from StruCAD. The formatting of information seems cumbersome for print and we are trying to reformat the printable file to a much more concise form. Most stressed members, shear, moment, unity check per member type, similar to what we could pull from the old StruCAD batch print files.

Any input about SAP2000 report output and how to manipulate it to summarize info would be great.

Thanks
Beau
