What
...
is
...
the
...
difference
...
between
...
SAP2000
...
and
...
PERFORM-3D?
...
Answer:
...
...
offers
...
some
...
specialized
...
types
...
of
...
...
objects
...
which
...
are
...
not
...
currently
...
available
...
to
...
...
,
...
including
...
a
...
shear
...
wall,
...
general
...
wall,
...
and
...
infill
...
panel.
...
A
...
general
...
nonlinear
...
...
...
...
has
...
been
...
introduced
...
in
...
SAP2000
...
which
...
serves
...
a
...
function
...
similar
...
to
...
that
...
of
...
PERFORM-3D
...
wall
...
objects.
...
PERFORM-3D
...
also
...
enables
...
various
...
limit
...
states
...
and
...
output
...
D/C
...
ratios
...
to
...
be
...
defined
...
for
...
object
...
groups.
...
Color-coordinated
...
animations
...
depict
...
the
...
dynamic
...
response
...
of
...
these
...
limit
...
states.
...
Ultimately
...
we
...
would
...
like
...
to
...
integrate
...
PERFORM-3D
...
into
...
SAP2000
...
such
...
that
...
users
...
may
...
access
...
the
...
...
features
...
and
...
analysis
...
capabilities
...
of
...
PERFORM-3D
...
within
...
the
...
familiar
...
interface
...
of
...
SAP2000.
