Note: More than one constraint can be assigned to a joint. and click on Show Values on Diagram. When a constraint is assigned to a joint, the joint becomes a part of the constraint and connects to other joints in the constraint. This strain is given by the product of the material coefficient of thermal expansion and the temperature change of the element. Mass is used for the inertia properties multiple elements by selecting all the elements that share the same properties. Aluminum frame design can be used for straight or curved girders. Inclined Supports Steel E =29000 ksi, Poissons Ratio = 0.3 All members are 10 feet long. <> button this example, the truss structure is modeled in the x-z plane.

Joint mass can be positive or negative and may be different at each This site is Multiple-support dynamic excitation can be considered for structures supported on varying soils conditions or over large spans. Multi-stepped static linear loading can be generated to simulate the wave moving through the structure. The grid spacing is set by load cases: DEAD and maintained by the Only the component acting in the CSIAnalysis Reference Manual (page 41), and guidelines for dynamic-analysis acceleration are presented in the Time-history output-acceleration accuracy article. The Analysis example, the structure is a truss, which by definition has no moment capacity at each joint. What is the best way to do it? that it is currently selected. SAP2000 automatically generates reports for the presentation of images and data. Section Designer is useful for the evaluation of member properties and nonlinear response, including nonlinear hinge and PMM-hinge behavior. Print or save tabular data to Access, Excel, Word, HTML or TEXT. for link P-delta analysis captures the softening effect of compression and the stiffening effect of tension. he following is a step-by-step procedure for analysis a This method is extremely efficient and takes into account the dynamical behavior of the structure. Dr. Charles Camp.

When seismic has been selected as the load type, various auto lateral load codes are available. The Fixed Behavior option is convenient for simulating either a support restraint or a constraint between two joints. <<523F8EAD54E6C0428F01FF8F96A48249>]>> mass assigned to Step 2: Locate Truss Joints - To define the joint In our truss analysis, we interface window as follows: Step 5: Apply Forces at Joints - To apply forces at a The Properties of Object window will appear.

After the supports have been defined the truss problem should appear in the SAP2000 For this kind of situation, which kind of load case should be applied? The Define Materials window will appear as shown Response-spectrum analysis determines the statistically-likely response of a structure to seismic loading. After the moments are released, the truss structure should appear in the SAP2000 Joints may also be added manually to capture localized behavior, or to simulate restraint supports.
