    This document summarizes an example that tests the static nonlinear analysis capabilities of the SAP2000 software. The example models a cantilever column subjected to a large bending moment. Three models with different mesh densities are analyzed and the results are compared to independent hand calculations. The displacements and moments from SAP2000 match well with the independent solutions, improving with finer meshes. This example demonstrates SAP2000's ability to accurately model large displacements.

    EXAMPLE 2-019
    SHELL – LARGE BENDING DISPLACEMENTS

    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    This example uses a fixed base cantilever column to test static nonlinear analysis
    with large bending displacements in SAP2000. A concentrated moment, M, is
    applied at the top of the column equally split between the two top joints. The
    moment M is increased until the rotation at the top of the column is equal to π
    radians (180 degrees). The resulting vertical and horizontal displacements of the
    top of the column and the moment required to create the desired deflected shape
    are compared with independent hand calculated results.

    Three different models, labeled A, B and C, are run for this example. The models
    are identical, except for the meshing of the column, which is 1x4 (width by
    height), 1x16 and 1x64 for Models A, B and C, respectively. To test the
    SAP2000 automatic area meshing feature, all of the models are created with a
    single area object and automatic internal meshing is assigned to the area object.

    After running the analysis, use the Display menu > Show Deformed Shape
    command to display the deflected shape. To get the deflected shape to display
    properly, uncheck the cubic curve option, select the Scale Factor option in the
    Scaling area of the form, and set the Scale Factor to 1.

    TECHNICAL FEATURES OF SAP2000 TESTED


     Static nonlinear analysis of shell structure with large bending displacements
    using the SAP2000 P-Delta plus large displacements option
     Automatic area meshing

    RESULTS COMPARISON
    Because the column is subjected to pure moment, it should bend in a circular arc.
    Thus, the independent results for displacement are calculated from the properties
    of a circle. The independent results for the moment are calculated using Equation
    4 in Article 7.1 of Chapter 7 on page 91 of Roark and Young 1975. The results
    are presented separately for the thin plate option and the thick plate option.

    CONCLUSION
    The SAP2000 results show an acceptable match with the independent results for
    both the thick and the thin plate options. As the meshing of the area object
    increases, and the meshed model is able to more accurately approximate a
    circular arc, the SAP2000 and independent results converge.
