The Chinese section-property database files have been enhanced by adding new sections. A bilinear Maxwell damper has been implemented as a new link property. This device is a linear spring in series with a dashpot whose force-velocity relationship exhibits bilinear viscous behavior, typical of certain oil dampers having a relief valve. A friction-spring hysteretic damper has been implemented as a new link property. The force-displacement relationship exhibits linear slipping stiffness when loading, but unloads with a smaller slipping stiffness. A pre-compression displacement and a displacement stop-limit may be specified. The specification of the notional size used for time-dependent creep and shrinkage analysis has been enhanced to now be specified with the frame and shell section properties instead of with the material property.

The analysis of certain non symmetrical frame sections now accounts for coupled bending due to the product of inertia, I23, and for the coupling between major shear (V2) and torsion when the shear center is not located at the centroid of the section. Steel frame design and cold formed frame design are not affected except as may due to changes in analysis results. Steel frame design was already accounting for the rotated principal axes of bending for angle sections as documented for the various codes. The number of time steps that can be run in a single linear or nonlinear (FNA) modal time history load case has been increased for cases with a large numbe r of link elements. Italian material property definitions have been added. Steel frame design using the "AS " and "NZS " codes have been enhanced to provide more design details. 29

30 Mass participation ratios for the rotational acceleration loads (RX, RY,and RZ) have been changed so that they are now reported with respect to the centroid of the structure. Previously they were reported with respect to the global origin. The import of StruCAD*3D models has been enhanced to allow the import of the Cb, Cm, and unbraced length design overwrites. SAP2000 V15.1.0/1 Enhancements Chinese design has been updated to the 2010 specifications for seismic load patterns, response-spectrum functions, load combinations, concrete frame design, and the seismic provisions for steel frame design.

Other minor enhancements. SAP2000 V Enhancements Significant new features Concrete frame design has been enhanced to improve the smoothing of P-M-M interaction surfaces in those rare cases where they become non-convex due to kinks in the P-M curves. A new design overwrite has been added for steel frame design using the "Eurocode " code. You may now use the "Is Rolled Section" parameter to indicate whether the member is rolled or welded. The assignment as rolled or welded affects 31

32 the b/t ratio and therefore may affect the section classification. It may also affect the shear-area calculation. The limit on the number of nodes (joints) allowed for exporting a model to a SASSI file has been increased from 9999 to The exported files are still compatible with the older format if fewer than nodes are exported. SAP2000 V Enhancements Significant new features The program level (Advanced, Plus, Basic) can now be chosen when starting the program using a command-line option. New Quick Materials have been added for common Indian steel, concrete, and rebar material properties. The length effects for the uniform loads of the British standard HA vehicle (BD-3701) have been updated to the latest edition of the code. Modal time-history analysis for dynamic bridge loading now runs considerably faster. Multiple enhancements have been made for concrete frame design using Indian code IS for handling slenderness and P-delta effects. Eurocode steel frame design has been enhanced to provide more detailed reporting. The export to CIS/2 has been enhanced so that the resulting data files can be read by SDS/2, and now includes all frame offsets. SAP2000 V Enhancements Significant new features Steel-frame design has been implemented for the Australian design code "AS ". The National Annex parameters for Sweden, Finland, and Denmark have been added for concrete frame design per code "Eurocode " and for steel frame design per "Eurocode ". The sign of all results for hyperstatic load cases has been reversed at the request of several users. The installation has been changed so that it is no longer necessary for users to use the command "Run As Administrator" the first time they execute SAP2000 after updating to a new version of the program if they uninstall the previous version first. 32

33 SAP2000 V Enhancements Significant New Features The CQC3 method of directional combination has been added as an option for response-spectrum load cases. Concrete frame design using code "ACI " has been implemented. Eurocode 8 seismic provisions have been implemented for concrete frame design using code Eurocode Eurocode 8 seismic provisions have been implemented for steel frame design using code Eurocode The Singapore National Annex to Eurocode 2 (NA to SS EN : 2008) has been implemented for concrete frame design using Eurocode Snow loads are now included in the automatic load combinations that are created for concrete design using codes "ACI318-02/IBC2003" and "ACI318-05/IBC2006". The documentation has been updated accordingly. The design load combinations created by the program for steel frame design code "CAN/CSA-S16-01" now include notional loads, if any have been defined. The shear design for Eurocode has been enhanced to optimized for angle theta in Section of the code. The identification of lateral load cases (seismic or wind) has been improved for nonlinear cases which may contain these loads. This affects the increase in allowables for some design codes. The design preferences for concrete, steel, cold-formed steel, and aluminum design have been enhanced to provide more control for the creation of internal design load combinations involving nonlinear and staged-construction static load cases. User-defined frame hinges can now be assigned to any frame section or any material. Previously, hinges could only be assigned to certain known section types, such as rectangular and circular concrete sections; steel pipes, tubes, and wide-flange sections; and Section-Designer sections. Displayed plot functions have been enhanced by adding the ability to plot forces for section cuts that have been defined using quadrilateral cutting planes. Previously only forces for sections cuts defined from groups could be displayed as plot functions. When displaying mode shapes graphically, the modal frequency is now displayed as well as the modal period. Improvements have been made to nonlinear direct-integration time history analysis to improve its speed and convergence. Three new options are now available for dividing frame objects using the command Edit > Edit Line > Divide Frames. They are (1) Divide at a specified distance from the Iend of the frame, (2) Divide at the intersection with a coordinate plane in the current coordinate system, and (3) Divide at the intersection with visible grid planes in the current coordinate system. 33

34 An enhancement has been made to the graphical user interface so that the view no longer zooms out after certain operations, such as showing selection only, performing editing operations like deletion, and returning from the Bridge Modeler. The import and export of IFC files has been updated to include Schema 2x2, 2x3, and 2x3_TC1, including the import/export of sections properties. The ability to export physical objects to IGES files has been added. Previously all objects were exported as FEM entities. Now you can choose either option. If you export as FEM, loads and properties are also exported. If you export as physical objects, only geometrical line and surface entities will be created, but properties and loads will not be exported. A new option to export a Perform3D Structure has been added. Most geometry, material and section properties, restraints, diaphragm constraints, groups, loads, and load cases are exported for frame and shell elements. Corresponding Perform3D members are created depending on the properties and assignments present on the individual SAP2000 members. Detailed hinge properties and other Perform3Dspecific features must be defined in Perform3D. The Open API function that hides the GUI now also turns off the drawing functions for increased execution speed. SAP2000 V Enhancements Significant New Features The capability to export a slab model to SAFE V12 has been implemented. This will be supported by SAFE V12.2 when it is released. Detailed design checking has been implemented for multi-cell prestressed-concrete box-girder bridge superstructures according to the AASHTO LRFD 2007 code using Live-Load Distribution Factors. This is in addition to the whole-section design previously released. Design checks are available for stress, flexural capacity, and shear capacity using MCFT (modified compression field theory). Concrete frame design has been implemented using the AASHTO LRFD 2007 code. Significant speed improvements have been made to the generation of AASHTO/Caltrans frame hinges for pushover analysis. General improvements have been made to the automated bridge seismic design feature. The concrete U-girder frame section can now also be used to model steel tubs in the Bridge Modeler. Each section can be supported by a single bearing at the center, or two bearings at the edges of the girder. The modeling of steel-girder diaphragms for steel girder bridges has been improved to provide better support for the lower flange. Automated wind lateral loading for Australia and New Zealand has been implemented according to the 2002 AS/NZS code. 34

35 The Norwegian national parameters have been implemented for auto seismic loading according to the Eurocode 8 code. The API 4F automated wind load has been enhanced to include a shielding factor. Steel frame design for the NORSOK N-004 code, including punching checks, has been added to the Offshore module. The design of non-tubular sections is in accordance with Eurocode with the Norwegian National Annex. The Norwegian national parameters have been implemented for concrete frame design using the Eurocode code and steel frame design using the Eurocode code. The 3-D rotation command in the graphical user interface has been improved for working in zoomed-in regions.
