Recent projects to do more, so the use of SAP2000 is much more than the software Ansys, now SAP2000 version of more and more high, the latest is to 18, think at that time or 14, feel the software is very convenient to use, Now SAP2000V18 has changed dramatically. Although this software is useful, but in addition to design, at best, the basic is the advanced structural mechanics solver. The main reason is that the software is not fluent enough, in the larger model analysis, the first is to display problems, such as in the 50W model, in the ANSYS can be shown without difficulty, but in SAP is basically impossible, especially to show the bar number, or node and so on, I believe the use of the affirmation is a bit of empathy. Another major reason is that the SAP2000 solver does not work, the solution efficiency is low, for small structure can also, but for large structure of the solution is very slow, and the general finite element software, the gap is still there. However, SAP2000 's latest version of the 18.1.1 seems to have changed, according to the official web description, as if using the DX display, it should be used DX display, GDI's display is not smooth.
Sap2000v18 of course, in addition to this point, is to add a lot of norms, which is SAP2000 so popular reasons. It is worth mentioning that in the new version, the wind load code has also been upgraded to GB 50009-2012.
gb50009-2012 but the latest SAP2000 harmony version seems to be unable to use Chinese norms, the reason is to crack the file to crack the not completely only use the ultimate version, can not use the Ultimatec version, but for the taste is still possible. The following is the Chinese, now the Chinese is very simple, as follows:
Help menu opens SAP2000, you will find that the Help menu is already a change of voice of the project, but the gray is not available, so need a language pack, the Language Pack 15 version is not available, you must have a new edition, here to provide a copy of the language pack, to everyone: click to download Put the downloaded language pack under the installation directory and reopen it, and you will find that the project that changed the language is ready to use: After the Help menu switch, you can use the Chinese version of the SAP2000V18.
