    The document introduces steel design optimization in SAP2000. It involves defining a group of potential steel sections for each member, running an analysis, selecting the most suitable section based on the member forces from the analysis, and repeating the analysis and selection process until the analysis and design sections match for all members. Defining groups is important to ensure similar sections are selected for related members.

    Steel Design Optimization

    Step by Step
    1. Define/Import Individual Steel Sections
    2. Define & Assign “Auto Select List” Section (Group of Steel Sections)
    3. Define & Assign Group for steel design
    4. Run Analysis
    5. Run Steel Design
    6. Repeat Step 4 & 5
    until no difference between analysis and design section
    Questions
    What is “Auto Select List” Section?
    Why Repeat Analysis & Design?
    Why Define & Assign Group?

    Steel Design Optimization

    Why Repeat Analysis & Design?

    Analysis Design
    Analysis Section Member Forces Design Section
    (Section A) using Section A (Section B)

    Repeat Analysis & Design

    until All Analysis Sections = All Design Sections

    Why Analysis Sections = Design Sections?


    1st Loop
    Analysis Design
    Analysis Section Member Forces Design Section
    (Section A) using Section A (Section B)

    2nd Loop and More….


    Analysis Design
    Analysis Section Member Forces Design Section
    (Section B) using Section B (Section C)

    Last Loop

    Why Define & Assign Group for Steel Design?


    If no group defined, steel sections for all members will be difference.
