Description

In this course, you will learn SAP2000 software, a worldwide structural analysis & design software, starting from the basic modeling techniques in SAP2000 to exploring many available advanced options, techniques, tools, and guides for steel, cold-form steel, and aluminum structural design with hands-on parallel exercises for clearer concepts and understanding like no other.

The course is prepared with extreme care considering the best sequence of steps and topics for easy and proper learning. Although the course is focused on SAP2000, the structural design concepts and steps are using AISC/ANSI design code and ASCE loading code for references of parameters. The course focuses on the design practice and knowledge utilized on a professional level worldwide. Here is a brief syllabus for the course:
