I.Analysis of a truss
structure
Step 1

Select the menu File->New model

When a new model is started, SAP2000 will ask the user to
specify a set of units. Those units become the base units for
the model. Although
input data may be provided and output data can be viewed in
any set of
units, those values are always converted to and from the base
units of the
model.
From select tample
we will choose Grid
Only.
Measurements units:
KN,m,C
