h1. SAP2000 V15.1.0/1

h1. Previous versions of SAP2000

Direct import from REVIT to SAP2000 prior to V15.1.0/1 is not available. However, you can use one of the following options for this older version of SAP2000:

(1) Use some intermediate format, such as IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), into which the model can be exported from REVIT and then imported to SAP2000. List of file formats that can be imported to SAP2000 is available via "File > Import" menu.

(2) Other option would be to import the REVIT file to ETABS and then save the resulting ETABS file as SAP2000 model. It is important to note that SAP2000 models exported to ETABS are currently (as of 5/2011) in SAP000 V7 format. Therefore, the SAP2000 text file created by ETABS would need to be imported to SAP2000 via the "File > Import > SAP2000 V6 or V7 .s2k Text File" menu command.

Also, the S2K file for SAP2000 V7 did not support labels longer than 7 characters, therefore the labels in ETABS should be modified to have 7 character or less prior to exporting the ETABS model to SAP2000.
