Dear Dr. Hien Le,
I would love to answer to your questions as my experience in analysis of various buildings using SAP2000 is very rich (extensive). However, I would need some clarifications from you on what you were trying to do in your research. Did you carry out linear or non-linear analysis? Which loading was applied to your frames, namely, only vertical or vertical and horizontal loads simultaneously? Thank you.
Best regards,

Dear Dr. Hien Le,
You should answer to reviewer that formation of the models of the selected frames was done using the needed FE (finite elements) suggested in the SAP2000 and, thus, they are properly verified for both linear and non-linear analyses under the horizontal loading.
