    This document summarizes an example that tests the frame insertion point feature in SAP2000 software. It models a cantilever beam with defined cardinal points and joint offsets. Two load cases are applied and compared to independent hand calculations. The results from SAP2000 match exactly with the hand calculations, validating the frame insertion point modeling in SAP2000.

    EXAMPLE 1-011
    FRAME INSERTION POINT

    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    This example uses a cantilever beam to test the SAP2000 frame insertion point.
    In SAP2000 the frame insertion point is defined by a combination of a cardinal
    point and joint offsets.

    This example uses a 12 inch wide by 18 inch deep section. The cardinal point is
    specified to be at the bottom left corner of the section (cardinal point location 1)
    and global Z direction joint offsets of +12 inches are specified at each end of the
    beam.

    Two load cases are considered. The first load case has a 10 kip compressive load
    applied to the joint at the free end of the cantilever. The second load case applies
    the 10 kip compressive load to the free end of the frame object (not the joint).

    The fixed end moments and the maximum beam moments are compared with
    independent hand calculated results for the two load cases.
