SAP2000 Manual - Training Video
SAP2000 is a program developed by the company CSI, Computer and Structures, Inc. Berkeley, California, USA. It comes in several versions (Standard, Plus and Advanced). For over 30 years he has been in continuous development, to give the engineer a reliable, sophisticated and easy to use on the basis of a powerful and intuitive graphical interface procedures modeling, structural analysis and design at the forefront worldwide. SAP2000 has a powerful design in steel, concrete and aluminum fully integrated, all available from the same interface used to model and analyze the model. The design of aluminum and steel members permits initial sizing and an interactive optimization and design of concrete elements includes calculating the required number of steel reinforcing, even considering EQRD level. The overall design is performed through the application updated international codes.
