Architectural Student Work with SAP2000, the Challenge of Geometry, Wolfgang Schueller

Prof. Wolfgang Schueller

PAST STUDENT WORK The geometry of a structure may be graphically generated by SAP2000, or by importing e.g. a AutoCAD dxf file; should the geometry be generated by other graphical programs such as SketchUp or Rhinoceros, then the geometry model has to first be imported to AutoCAD. Depending on the structural engineering software, however, many structure types may be automatically generated with the assistance of templates.

For SAP2000 problem solutions refer to “Wolfgang Schueller: Building Support Structures – examples model files”: https://wiki.csiamerica.com/display/sap2000/Wolfgang+Schueller%3A+Building+Su pport+Structures+-

If you do not have the SAP2000 program get it from CSI. Students should request technical support from their professors, who can contact CSI if necessary, to obtain the latest limited capacity (100 nodes) student version demo for SAP2000; CSI does not provide technical support directly to students. The reader may also be interested in the Eval uation version of SAP2000; there is no capacity limitation, but one cannot print or export/import from it and it cannot be read in the commercial version.
