thanks a lot

RE: SAP2000
as far as i know sap operates at a close structure.
To do what you want you have to be able to modify the sap main code. (that is written in c++ i guess)
RE: SAP2000
Sap can be easily opened in this way:
Dim MyAppID, ReturnValue
MyAppID = Shell("C:\SAP2000N\Sap2000.exe", 1)
AppActivate MyAppID
but, of course, i'd need the program to open a file for me and run the analysis
do you think i can do it without modifying sap's code?
however, if you are interested in the topic, i'll be very grateful if you have a look at this post session and post there what you think about it:

RE: SAP2000
i think it is very interesting task you are trying to do there...please keep me informed...
i would like to make some vba routines to extract sap2000 plate and shell analysis results to design shearwall and reinforced concrete slabs, since sap2000 lacks of this capabilities. i think that your approach is the good one to achieve this task....
