Automated, Predefined and Customized Report Generation
• Quick and easy generation of final printed reports with complete user control
• Cover sheet identifying project, user and company
• Formatted tables of model definition, analysis and design results
• Typical graphical displays of the model
• Output sheets of detailed design information
Other Enhancements to the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• User created documents now can be accessed through the SAP2000 Help menu
• Export of geometry and element connectivity to CSI Perform-3D
• Enhanced import of input files from STAAD.Pro, GTSTRUDL, NASTRAN, etc.
• DXF export for finite element stress contour arrows for 2D and 3D views
• Export structural model data for use with soil-structure interaction product, SASSI
• Faster graphical user interface and enhanced OpenGL graphics
Enhanced Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) is now Free
• The OAPI for SAP2000 provides developers of products for CADD and 3D modeling seamless and efficient access to all of the sophisticated analysis and design technology of SAP2000. The OAPI can now be used in two different ways. First, OAPI tools developed by third parties can be accessed by the SAP2000 GUI as external plug-ins. Second, using the OAPI, third-party developers can transfer model information to and from SAP2000, trigger the SAP2000 execution and extract analysis and design information from SAP2000, all from within their application. The OAPI feature is now free with every SAP2000 license.
Minimum and Recommended System Requirements
• Processor: Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64. Recommended: Intel Core 2 Duo,
AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better (see notes 1 and 2 below)
• Operating System: Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Microsoft® Windows
Vista, 32- and 64-bit versions. (see notes 3 and 4 below)
• Memory: Minimum: 1 GB for XP O/S, 2 GB for Vista O/S. Recommended: 2 to 4 GB for
32-bit O/S, 4 GB or more for 64-bit O/S. (see note 5 below)
• Disk Space: 6 GB to install the program, additional space required for running and
storing model files and analysis results.
• Video Card: Supporting 1024 by 768 resolution and 16 bits colors. Recommended: discrete
video card with ATI / NVIDIA GPU & dedicated graphics RAM. (see note 6 below)
Notes:
1) To be able to take advantage of the features of the newer CPU's, SAP2000 v12 will not run on
some of the older CPU's from Intel and AMD. A CPU that has SSE2 support is now required.
2) SAPfire™ Analytical Engine now includes a multi-threaded solver that can take
advantage of the newer multi-core CPUs.
3) Support for Microsoft® Windows 2000 and Microsoft® Windows NT has been discontinued.
Microsoft® Windows XP without Service Pack 2 may cause unexpected problems
when running SAP2000 v12.
4) With a 64 bit operating system, SAPFIRE™ Analytical Engine can utilize more than 4 GB of
RAM, making it possible to more efficiently solve larger problems.
5) The problem size that can be solved & the solution speed increases considerably with more
RAM. Vista requires more RAM than XP for the operating system itself.
6) OpenGL graphics mode fully utilizes the hardware acceleration provided by a GPU
& dedicated graphics RAM.
