Some of the examples of use are step-by-step large deformation analysis, multiple P-Delta analysis, eigenvector and Ritz analysis, buckling analysis, blast analysis, fast nonlinear analysis for dampers, bridge analysis, etc… SAP2000 supports the plasticity, the methods which includes energy and staged construction analysis.īridge constructors can use templates in the SAP to generate the construction of the bridge and automated moving load on the bridge, phased construction, large deformation in the cables. This innovative interface allows you to create static models quickly. SAP2000 has a tradition of over 30 years, with very sophisticated and innovative user interface, highly developed tools for analysis and design of structures. You can use SAP2000 for the simplest problems or the most complex projects. The accent is on analysis, not on design, because this software is mainly used for analysis and not for design. It is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, state-of-the-art finite-element analysis and design package. The word SAP is abbreviation of Structural Analysis Program, and 2000 is the year when the main version of the software was released. SAP2000 is a civil engineering program for static analysis of structures.
