Select your SAP2000 version, the destination and analysis model.\u00a0 The destination can be either:<\/p>\n
\n- To a new empty model in a new instance – after the file is loaded you immediately will be prompted to save the file<\/li>\n
- To current instance and new empty model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
SAP2000 will launch automatically in case of ‘new instance’ choice.<\/p>\n
Next, the BIM Expert sections and materials must be mapped with SAP2000’s section and materials. BIM Expert will try to find as many automatic mapping matches as possible. In case all sections and materials find a match, you will not see any dialogs for mapping.<\/p>\n
2.2.2 Material mapping<\/h4>\n
In a new file, SAP2000 only has 2 materials present: Steel S355 and Concrete 30\/37. Chances are real that you see the material mapping dialog.\u00a0 If you cannot find a suited\u00a0counterpart in the SAP2000 model, the material can be added as new.<\/p>\n
