Can I analyze the stress on a membrane in sap2000? It is for a tensile structure.

Looks like the roof is made of Teflon. Yes, you can design the structure with SAP2000.

Just buy the book called:

BUILDING SUPPORT STRUCTURES, Analysis and Design with SAP2000 Software" by WOLFGANG SCHUELLER.

I don't know whether it is still available from CSI, the company that sells SAP2000.
