Computer & Structures, Inc. is pleased to announce the Release of SAP2000 Version 9. The three levels of this release,
Basic (B), Plus (P) and Advanced (A), correspond to the Standard, Plus and Nonlinear levels respectively of previous
releases. The new features that are being released in this version are listed below along with the associated level in which
the enhancement is implemented.

Computers & Structures, Inc. is also pleased to announce the release of five specialty add-on modules to SAP2000, namely, the Object-Based Bridge Design Module, the Staged Construction Module, the Offshore/Wave Module, the Heat Transfer Module and the SASSI (Soil Structure Interaction) Interface Module. All add-on modules require SAP2000 Advanced, except the Object-Based Bridge Design Module which requires a minimum of SAP2000 Plus. These modules need additional licensing.

( Can Be Added to Plus Version)
The Bridge Design Module adds capability to easily model complicated
bridge geometry using Bridge Designer’s terminology. Specifically included are:

· Layout-line definition for bridge elements and lanes using
  bearings and stations
· Layout-line has horizontal and vertical curves and transitions
· Parametric cross-section definitions
· Cross-section parameters can vary along length of bridge
· Bridge definition includes spans, abutments, hinges,
  bents and superelevation
· Abutments, bents and hinges can be skewed
· Post-tensioning layout
· Automatically creates spine (frame), shell or solid-element models
· Structural model can remain linked to Bridge objects for quick editing
· Display of integrated forces and stresses along bridge


The Staged Construction Module adds capability to consider staged
construction sequencing for any model. Time dependent effects such
as creep and shrinkage can be included in staged construction
analyses. Specifically included are:

· Staged construction sequencing allowing Adding or Removing members
· Staged construction sequencing allowing Adding or Removing loads
· Staged construction sequencing allowing Adding or Removing supports
· Time dependent concrete age effects (FIP-CEB)
· Time dependent creep and shrinkage (FIP-CEB)
· Time dependent prestressing steel relaxation (FIP-CEB)
· Explicitly model time-dependent effects using tendon elements
