    Antonio Abrham
    This document provides an overview of how to use the SAP2000 software package for earthquake engineering analysis. It discusses defining the geometry, fixities, materials, sections, and load patterns of a model, as well as running analyses to obtain results like displacements, forces, and mode shapes. The modal analysis section describes unlocking a model and assigning nodal masses to determine the model's vibration modes when subjected to dynamic loading.
