SAP2000 - Wind tunnel pressure tap data input in SAP2000

Well this kinda sounds fun. But let me warn you its a ton of work and I can't verify that it's even possible.

But here is some of my thoughts that I would consider while trying to approach this problem.

1) Pressure needs an area to act over. That means you need to come up with some kind of tributary mesh of surfaces to each pressure tap. Not a trivial task.
2) Now you could use SAP's time dependent load functions to create a time series of the loading for each location. Not a trivial task.
3) You can use SAP2000 linear combination feature to superimpose each load case into a single load case. This is actually a trivial task lol.

The hardest part would be managing all of the time series data, and keeping track of the tap locations, and properly applying the pressure as I discussed in step 1.

If done manually through SAP gui, it will be quite a bit of work.
I would probably look to pre-process as much of the data as I could, perhaps even look into SAP API. With that you could potentially load up your data into python or something and pre-process it and push it out to the SAP model programmatically.

HI,
Thank you so much
