Basic Sap2000 background

Description

The course is an introduction of CSI Perform 3D which is a nonlinear structural analysis and performance-based design software. The course is designed to demonstrate briefly the importance of understanding the basics of nonlinear structural procedures for both students and structural engineers.

The course is divided into five sections:

Introduction to nonlinear structural analysis.

Modeling phase.

Analysis phase.

Reviewing analysis results.

Performance assessment tools.

Each section contains lessons, resources, quiz, and assignment which all designed carefully to provide you with a comprehensive engaged and enjoyable learning experience.

I wish you have a wonderful course experience, and gain a new skill that help you boost your career.
