    This document tests the SAP2000 software by modeling a cantilever beam with rotated local axes under different loads. It compares the displacements calculated by SAP2000 to independent hand calculations. For all load cases, SAP2000's results match the independent solutions exactly, demonstrating it can accurately analyze frames with rotated local axes.

    EXAMPLE 1-004
    FRAME - ROTATED LOCAL AXES

    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    This example tests SAP2000 for various types of loading on a frame element
    with its local 2 and 3 axes not parallel to the global axes. A W12X106 cantilever
    beam is used with the local 2 axis rotated 30 degrees from the global Z axis as
    shown in the figure below. The free end displacements in the global Y and Z
    directions are compared with independent hand calculations. The W12X106
    section properties are read from the SECTIONS8.pro section database provided
    with SAP2000.

    Important Note: Only bending deformations are considered in the analysis. In


    SAP2000 shear deformations are ignored by setting the property modification
    factor for the shear area to zero.

    TECHNICAL FEATURES OF SAP2000 TESTED


    ¾ Frame local axes rotated from global axes
    ¾ Use of AISC sections

    RESULTS COMPARISON
    The independent results are calculated using the beam deflection formulas in
    Table 3 item 1a and Table 3 item 2a on pages 96 and 98, respectively, in Table 3
    in Roark and Young 1975.
