SAP2000 Professional Course for Structural Engineers
Learn SAP2000 software, a powerful structural analysis and design tool. This course covers basic modeling techniques, advanced options, and hands-on exercises for steel, cold-form steel, and aluminum design. Perfect for structural engineers, civil engineers, and engineering students.
What you’ll learn
- Introduction to SAP2000 (User Interface, viewing options, definitions of keywords, shortcuts, tools and tips)
- SAP2000 Basics (Difference between shell thin, thick membrane, Rigid & Semi-rigid diaphragm, Import grids, Concept of envelope with exercise
- Defining Structural Properties (Define Grids circular and rectangular), Define Material & frame member sections, Define shell sections)
- Modelling Tools (Draw/replicate/viewing tools, hide/unhide elements with exercise, auto/manual meshing of slab and wall, Model reviewing options)
- Additional Modelling tools (2D Truss & Frames, 3D- 40 story building model, Creating selection groups, Merge multiple models)
- Importing models from Tekla/Revit/Autocad to SAP2000
- Applying Loading (Define & assign load patterns, load cases, load combinations, seismic loads, wind loads, mass source, diaphragms)
- General Analysis & Design (Code preferences, Analysis results (Forces, deformation & stresses), Modal Analysis)
- Steel Columns Design
- Steel Beams Design
- Cold Formed Steel Frame Design
- Aluminum Frame Design
- Serviceability and Irregularities (Seismic/Wind drift checks & limitations)

In this course, you will learn SAP2000 software, a worldwide structural analysis & design software, starting from the basic modeling techniques in SAP2000 to exploring many available advanced options, techniques, tools, and guides for steel, cold-form steel, and aluminum structural design with hands-on parallel exercises for clearer concepts and understanding like no other.
The course is prepared with extreme care considering the best sequence of steps and topics for easy and proper learning. Although the course is focused on SAP2000, the structural design concepts and steps are using AISC/ANSI design code and ASCE loading code for references of parameters. The course focuses on the design practice and knowledge utilized on a professional level worldwide. Here is a brief syllabus for the course:
