Camber

How can I model camber in SAP2000?

Answer: Camber may be modeled in SAP2000 by modifying initial geometry through Analyze > Modify Undeformed Geometry. This setting should be adjusted after analysis is run. Users should select the load case in which dead load is applied, then specify a scale factor of 1.0.
