For critical structures (hospitals, nuclear facilities, high-rise buildings in seismic zones), engineers use SAP2000 to run direct-integration time-history analyses. The software can import real earthquake ground motion records (e.g., El Centro, Northridge) and compute the structure's exact response at 0.01-second intervals.

: While often compared to CAD tools, SAP2000 is primarily a BIM-compatible structural analysis engine that works alongside documentation tools like Revit. csi sap2000

Use the "Draw" tools to place joints and elements. For repetitive structures, use "Interactive Database Editing" or "DXF Import" to bring in CAD geometry. For critical structures (hospitals
