SAP2000 15 follows in the same tradition featuring a very sophisticated, intuitive and versatile user interface powered by an unmatched analysis engine and design tools for engineers working on transportation, industrial, public works, sports, and other facilities. is integrated software for structural analysis and design.The SAP name has been synonymous with stateoftheart analytical methods since its introduction over 30 years ago. SAP2000 follows in the same tradition featuring a very sophisticated, intuitive and versatile user interface powered by an unmatched analysis engine and design tools for engineers working on transportation, industrial, public works, sports, and other facilities. From its 3D object based graphical modeling environment to the wide variety of analysis and design options completely integrated across one powerful user interface, SAP2000 has proven to be the most integrated, productive and practical general purpose structural program on the market today. This intuitive interface allows you to create structural models rapidly and intuitively without long learning curve delays. Now you can harness the power of SAP2000 for all of your analysis and design tasks, including small daytoday problems. Complex Models can be generated and meshed with powerful [Templates] built into the interface. The Advanced Analytical Techniques allow for StepbyStep Large Deformation Analysis, Multiple PDelta, Eigen and Ritz Analyses, Cable Analysis , Tension or Compression Only Analysis, Buckling Analysis , Blast Analysis, Fast Nonlinear Analysis for Dampers, Base Isolators and Support Plasticity, Energy Methods for Drift Control and Segmental Construction Analysis. Bridge Designers can use SAP2000 Bridge Templates for generating Bridge Models, Automated Bridge Live Load Analysis and Design, Bridge Base Isolation, Bridge Construction Sequence Analysis, Large Deformation Cable Supported Bridge Analysis and Pushover Analysis. SAP2000 is for everyone! SAP2000 is for every project! From a simple small 2D static frame analysis to a large complex 3D nonlinear dynamic analysis, SAP2000 is the answer to all structural analysis and design needs. Whats new in SAP2000 15.1.0 Chinese design has been updated to the 2010 specifications for seismic load patterns, responsespectrum functions, load combinations, concrete frame design, and the seismic provisions for steel frame design. These enhancements are consistent with the following specifications: GB500112010 Code for seismic design of buildings, GB 500102010 Code for design of concrete structures, and JGJ 32010 Technical specification for concrete structures of tall building. Concrete frame design has been added according to Turkish standard "TS 5002000", including Seismic Design Code 2007. The National Annex for Poland has been implemented for concrete frame design using Eurocode 22004. The National Annex for Poland has been implemented for concrete frame design using Eurocode 32005. The definition of material properties has been enhanced to allow userdefined standard materials through the use of XML files. Properties are segregated by region and by codestandard within these files as well as when using the materials in the graphical user interface. New materials have been added for China and Spain. Steel frame section properties for the AISC Shapes Database Version 14.0 are now available in the sectionproperty database files for U.S Customary and metric units. Data transfer between SAP2000 15.1.0 and Revit Structure 2012 is now supported using the same .EXR file format that is used to transfer data between ETABS and Revit Structure.
