This manual is therefore expected to be useful for the department in future conduction of training programs on "Structural Analysis and Earthquake. Municipal and other professional engineers, designers, architects Welcome to GAP. The name was chosen to reflect the aim of the system, which is introduced in this tutorial manual. Since that choice, the Software Manuals.
Search answers to many common questions. I would like to give my special thanks to Mr. Amrit Man Tuladhar, National Programme. While difference of independent calculation and SAP analysis result based on Yuan et al. Information in this design guide is supplied on the condition that the user of this The original manual is written in English language using a generic template which is adapted and translated by the participating universities in CLM countries.

After the frame sections have been assigned the SAP interface window will appear as follows:. To limit analysis to variables in the x-z plane click on the Analyze menu located along the top the SAP interface window and then click on Set Options. The Analysis Options menu will appear as follows:.
If the analysis is successful, the Analysis Complete window will appear and report the the analysis is complete. Click OK and the SAP interface window will display an exaggerated deflected shape of the modeled structure. If the window reports that the analysis is incomplete, make sure that the moments have been released and that the analysis options have been set correctly. After the Analysis Complete window has been closed, typically SAP displays the deflected shape of the structure as shown below:.
Step Print Truss Forces - To get a quick feel for the relative magnitude of the forces in the truss, select the Member Force Diagram for Frames button along the bottom tool bar. The Member Force Diagram for Frame menu will appear as follows:. Another way to display force information is to unclick Fill Diagram and click on Show Values on Diagram. In this case, the value of each axial force will be displayed next to the member see the figure below.
There is an option for Spreadsheet Format if desired. The default location for the file is the same directory as the problem files.
A different location can be specified by clicking File Name and choosing the desired file location and name. In order to correlation the results printed in the output file to frame elements in the structure, the frame labels turned on and printed out. To display the frame element labels click on the Show Undeformed Shape button on the main interface. Next, click on the Set Elements button and under the Frame section of the menu click on Labels.
The frame element numbers, or any other information displayed in the main SAP interface, can be printed by clicking on the File menu and selecting Print Graphics the image will be sent to the default printer. The results of the truss analysis presented in the output file are listed by frame element number. Note that SAP list the variation of the internal forces and moments along the element. For truss analysis there are no bending moments and shear forces. The values listed in the "P" column are the axial forces in the truss members.

When you select New Model on the menu, the Coordinate System Definition window will appear see the figure on the right.
For this problem the joint locations are shown below: Step 4: Draw Frame Elements - To define each frame element, select the Draw Frame Element button on the lower tool bar. For this truss problem, the frame elements are shown below: Step 5: Define Structural Supports - To define the location and type of structural support, select the support location by clicking on the joint with the pointer.
The Joint Restraints menu will appear as shown on the right.
