C. Tutorial Part 1 - Creating, Analyzing and Designing the Basic Model This tutorial steps through setting up the model geometry both from a built-in template (step 1a), and from scratch (step 1b). It is not necessary to do both of these steps, in order to complete the tutorial; one or the other is sufficient. However, it may be helpful to see the process and techniques used in completing both steps. We recommend that to obtain additional information during the course of this tutorial you refer liberally to the online help available in SAP2000 by pressing the F1 key from within almost any dialog box to obtain context-sensitive help. Step 1a: Setting Up the Model Geometry From a Template 1. Click the drop down box in the status bar to change the units to kip-ft. 2. From the File menu select New Model from Template…. This displays the Model Templates dialog box. 3. In this dialog box: • Click on the Space Frame template. This will display the Space Frame dialog box (see Figure C-1). • In this dialog box: Figure C-1: Space Frame Dialog Box ä Change the Number of Bays along X to 2. SAP2000 Web Tutorial 1 8
ä Check the Restraints box if it is not already checked. ä Check the Gridlines box if it is not already checked. ä Accept the remainder of the default values. ä Click the OK button. 4. The screen will refresh and display a 3-D and a 2-D (XY Plane @ Z=24) view of the model in vertically tiled adjoining windows. Figure C-2: Initial Screen From Space Frame Template 5. Note that the default restraints provided when the Restraints box is checked in the Space Frame dialog box are pinned supports. 6. Click in the window labeled X-Y Plane @ Z=24 to make sure it is active. Note when the window is active, its title bar will be highlighted. 7. Click the yz 2D View button on the main toolbar to change the view to an elevation in the YZ plane. Note that the title of the window reads YZ Plane @ X=24. This same title also occurs on the left-hand side of the status bar at the bottom of the SAP2000 window. 8. Click the roof level beam on the left side of the elevation to select it. From the Edit menu, click Divide Frames… to display the Divide Selected Frames dialog box. SAP2000 Web Tutorial 1 9
