Deformed Geometry
- Users can display deformed geometry based on any load, or combination of loads.
- Option to animate deflections
- Various mode shapes of the modal analysis can be shown and animated.
Moment, Sheer and Axial Force Diagrams
- Shear and moment diagrams display internal shear forces, moments, and displacements at all locations along the length of a frame element for any load case or load combination.
- Option to scroll along the length to display values or go to max location
Generalized Displacement Output
- Arbitrary displacement measures can be defined using generalized displacements. These are linear combinations of joint translations and rotations, and can be used to calculate averages, drifts, and other quantities of interest. Generalized displacement output can be obtained for all types of analysis cases and combinations.
Section Cuts
- The resultant (free-body) forces and moments across any cut in the structure can be defined using section cuts. A section cut can have any shape, and can be used to compute story shears, connecting forces, design forces in shear walls, and for many other purposes. Section cut results can be obtained for all types of load cases and combinations.
Video Animations with Time Varying Results
- SAP2000 has the ability to generate video (.avi) files to visually display a set of analysis results that vary over a particular time period, such as in a time history analysis.
- Output plot functions include:
- Base functions
- Energy functions
- Frame functions
- Generalized Displacement functions
- Joint functions
- Link functions
- Load functions
- Section Cut functions
- Shell functions
- Solid functions
Report Generator
- Pre-formatted printed reports are now available at the push of a button. These reports include all pertinent model data and the results of analysis and design.
- Data is presented in tabulated format, along with graphics, table of contents, and a cover sheet displaying project information and your company name and logo.
- Reports can be created in RTF file format for Microsoft Word or in HTML format for web presentations.
- You can use the built-in template, or create your own template as a company standard or specialized for a particular project.
