Does SAP2000 have the feature of considering material nonlinearity in the analysis?

I made a model of a fixed-free steel column. I defined the elasto-plastic stress-strain curve of the material and applied a very large lateral force to the top of the column. Then i ran the...

IF a strut is attached to a joint and a cable passes through the same joint as if it is a pulley. how to model this joint in SAP2000?

The system I am working on is a cable-strut flat grid system like that shown in the figure. The upper inclined cables are used as "active cables". Those cables are supported along the boundaries...

Why Austenite grains in steel show much more twinning than ferrite grains?

It is oftentimes said to be a distinctive metallographic trait that differentiates a fully austenitic and a fully felly ferritic steel without etching that might distinguish between two. Why...

What is the most suitable server for predicting protein structures in bacteria?

I have used the i-Tasser several times, however it has been unavailable for several days. I tried the swiss-model, but the output was not very pleasant due to the model used. Is there any other...

Can polymer concentrations be calculated based on the number average molecular weight?

Hello, I spin-cast two different polymers onto wafers and measure their height as a function of initial concentration. For polymer A, I have the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) as well as...
