SAP2000
The industry standard for structural analysis
The SAP2000 name has been synonymous with state-of-the-art analytical methods since its introduction over 45 years ago.
Why SAP2000 works for you
Efficient modeling
Handle linear, dynamic, staged construction, P-delta, buckling, and nonlinear analysis without moving between separate tools.
Advanced analysis in one platform
Build, edit, and review models quickly with a practical 3D interface, flexible views, and strong database-driven editing tools.
Integrated design, and reporting
Built-in design checks, graphical output, tables, and reports make it easier to review behavior, verify performance, and move from analysis to design decisions.
Connected workflows
With support for BIM, CAD, and API-based automation, SAP2000 works well alongside the other tools engineering teams already use.

QUICK TIP: SAP2000 and IDEA StatiCa:
How to perform Stiffness Analysis to improve global model accuracy
When performing a global analysis of a steel structure, engineers typically assume connections are either fully rigid or pinned.
While this simplifies the analysis, real-world connections exhibit some flexibility. By accurately determining the stiffness of a joint, engineers can take advantage of this flexibility in some cases, and optimize their designs for weight, utilization, and cost
