SAP2000 SAP2000 Web Tutorial 1

Note: It is important to note that when displacements or force are specified to be
printed in the *.out files using the Generate Output option, data for each and
every joint or element is printed. You have no control over this. For larger
problems this can lead to very large and unwieldy output files. See the notes at
the ends of steps 18 and 19 for information on other printing options.
Note: If you are running a large model, you may want/need to increase the memory
allocated to SAP2000 above the default 2000 Kb. You can do this in the Analysis options
dialog box.
3. Click the Run Analysis button on the main toolbar.
Note: You can also click the Analyze menu and select Run or select Run Minimized to run
the analysis. Run minimized will perform the execution in the background, i.e., it will
allow you to minimize SAP2000 while the analysis is being carried out. It also provides
a Cancel button that allows you to stop a run that is in progress.
4. A window is opened in which various phases of analysis are progressively reported. When
the analysis is complete the screen will display as shown in Figure C-18.
