Description
Initial release for SAP2000 version 8.1.2
Initial release for SAP2000 version 8.30. Examples 1-016, 1017, 1-019, 6-004, 6-005, and 6-011 were modified.
Intial release for SAP2000 version 9.00. Example 1-009 was
modified. Examples 1-030, 2-020, 3-001 through 3-005, 4-001
through 4-004 and 5-001 through 5-013 were added.
Intial release for SAP2000 version 9.09. Results for Example
1-009, Example 1-030, Example 2-020, and Example 5-009
were slightly modified. The process for automating the
verification check was also revised.
Intial release for SAP2000 version 9.11. Results for Example
2-018 and Example 2-019 were slightly modified.
Initial release for Sap2000 version 10.00. Results for
Examples 2-019 were slightly modified. The process for
automating the verification check was also revised.
Initial release for Sap2000 version 11.00. Results for Example
1-009, 2-019, 2-020, 5-009, 6-005, and 6-011 were slightly
modified. Removed reference temperature from Example 1002, 2-013 and 5-011. Examples 7-001 through 7-003 were
added to verify cable elements.
Initial release for SAP2000 version 12.00. Results for
Example 1-009, 2-020, 5-009, and 6-011 were slightly
modified. Model 7-003 and its results were slightly modified.
Typographical error was fixed in Example 6-012. Load
patterns and load case terminology updated.
Initial release for SAP2000 version 14.00. Results for Example
2-005, 2-006, 2-015, 5-009, 6-010, and 6-011 were slightly
modified. Model 6-002 and its results were modified. Added
discussion of sensitivity to Example 6-011.
Changes in Examples 2-005, 2-006, and 2-015 are due to a
change in the homogeneous shell element formulation
(Incident 17270).

Description
Changes in Example 5-009 are due to a change in the method
of transferring tendon loads to elements (Incident 17300).
Changes in Example 6-002 are due to a change that allows
negative stiffness in link elements (Incident 17151).
Changes in Example 6-010 are due to a change in the stiffness
proportional damping formulation (Incident 17152).
Changes in Example 6-011 are due to the numerical sensitivity
of the problem. See Example 6-011 Conclusions section for
more information.
Initial release for CSiBridge version 15.00. Important note
indicating that verification also applies to CSiBridge was
added. Results for Example 6-005, 6-010 and 6-011 were
slightly modified.
The results presented in this document are now obtained using
the Advanced equation solver running as a separate 32bit
process on an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU with the Windows 7
Professional 64-bit operating system.

Oct. 1 2010

Changes in Example 6-005 are due to the change in an internal

tolerance for nonlinear direct history analyses. (Incident
22645).
Changes in Example 6-002 are due to a change in how
reactions are calculated in nonlinear static and nonlinear direct
history analyses (Incident 10962).
Changes in Example 6-011 are due to the numerical sensitivity
of the problem. See Example 6-011 Conclusions section for
more information.

Description
A note was added to Example 1-030 indicating that it applies
to CSiBridge only. The example uses features that are not
available in Sap2000V15.
The automation documentation has been updated to reflect
changes in the Excel sheet.
Initial release for CSiBridge 2014 v16.0.0.
The Excel spreadsheet has been updated to run using 64-bit
versions of Microsoft Excel.
The important note has been updated to indicate that the
design examples do not apply to CSiBridge.

Aug. 5, 2013
The automation documentation has been updated to describe
how to run design verification examples for SAP2000.
Results for Example 6-011 were slightly modified. Changes in
Example 6-011 are due to the numerical sensitivity of the
problem. See Example 6-011 Conclusions section for more
information.
