SAP2000 A to Z Problems

The SAP2000 A to Z problems are intended to be a tool for learning to use the SAP2000 graphic interface. You will probably get the most benefit from each problem if you first attempt to solve it yourself, and then after you are finished, you review our step-by-step solution.

There are many ways to create these models. Your solution may be completely different from our solution, that is not unexpected, and does not mean that either solution is wrong. The important thing is to have these problems help you become familiar with the features of the SAP2000 graphic interface.

Following is a table of contents for the SAP2000 A to Z problems.
