SAP2000 Reorienting support reactions 1

[theshearstud]

Is it possible to change the orientation of a support reaction? It seems like SAP resolves the reaction to two principle directions (say x and y). But what if I want the resolved reactions to be rotated some radians (without reorienting the entire model). Thanks

If you want to rotate the restraints, right click on the target joint and double click on the local axes property(or select it and assign->joint->local axes). From there define the angle you wish and just press ok.(eg in 2d frame, assign 45 degrees in rotation about Y axi).
