SAP2000 is a full-featured program that can be used for the simplest problems or the most complex projects. This chapter describes program. Sophisticated and efficient meshing techniques. Engineers have many options when it comes to mesh generation in SAP2000. Notable meshing features include the ability to merge independently defined meshes among frame, shell and solid objects, coordinate tessellation with object orientation, and observe material boundaries to establish effective aspect ratios. SAP2000 v16.0.0 is a major new release, and significant new features have been added or enhanced since Version 15.2.1. For a full list of features and capabilities, please visit the SAP2000 news page at.
