Has anyone used SAP for direct analysis? If so, I'd appreciate it if you would share your knowledge and experience. I couldn't find any SAP documentation on direct analysis, but in version 11.02, it shows up in the steel design menu option when you change to AISC 360-05.
From a seminar I attended several months back, direct analysis method looks interesting, as it allows you do away with equivalent length K factors if certain criteria are met. If you google AISC Direct Analysis, you should find a good (free) Aisc paper by Shankar Nair on stability analysis. We just need to figure out what SAP is doing with direct analysis.
