Initialization of New Models

This video covers the available options for creating new models in SAP2000. Quality control advantages of using the saved settings option (SDBI file) versus an existing model to initialize new SAP2000 models will be discussed. (3m55s)

SAP2000 Extrusion Features

In this video, we’ll discuss how to create models quickly using the point and line extrusion features in SAP2000. (2m54s)

How to use the Copy/Paste Assigns Tool

The Copy/Paste Assigns tool is available for all objects (Joint, Frame, Tendon, Cable, Area, Solid and Link). This tool is the fastest way to assign multiple properties and loads to structural objects very quickly. (2m54s)

Foundation Properties and Assemblies

In this video, we will discuss how to define and assign Foundation Properties and Foundation Assemblies. A Foundation Assembly is a parametrically generated collection of components objects (points, lines, areas, and links) intended to represent footings and pile groups, along with the associated soil properties. A foundation assembly will be regenerated whenever the parametric definition is changed. This includes changes made to the properties used by the parametric foundation, as well as geometrical changes to the control points. (4m9s)

Merge Analysis Results

In this video we will discuss the Merge Analysis Results option in SAP2000. Multiple copies of the same model can be run on different machines, and the analysis results merged together on a single machine for performing design and processing results. This can be particularly useful when you need to run a large number of load cases (e.g., earthquakes for performance-based design, moving load cases for bridge design, etc.), and there are multiple machines available for running different load cases simultaneously.

TECH TIPS: Create Multi-Step Animation Video- SAP2000

In this video, we will discuss the steps to generate a multi-step animation video in SAP2000. Use the Create Multi-Step Animation Video command to create videos in SAP2000 showing the movement of the structure after a time history analysis has been run. The videos are saved as .AVI files. (4m6s)
