COURSE DESCRIPTION
SAP 2000 is a powerful tool which can be used for all Structural analysis and design tasks, including day to day problems. This intuitive interface allows to create structural models rapidly and intuitively without long learning curve delays. Complex Models can be generated and meshed with powerful Templates built into the interface. SAP2000 represents the state-of-the-art in three dimensional finite element technologies for structural engineering. SAP2000 provides powerful capabilities for analysis and design of a wide range of structures, including bridges, dams, tanks and buildings.
