h2. How are panel zones distinguished within SAP2000? *Extended Question:* Given that SAP2000 does not distinguish frames as either beams, columns, or braces (as does ETABS), how does the software determine connectivity for panel zones? *ANSWER:* In [SAP2000|sap2000:home], any [frame|kb:Frame] in the global XY plane is considered a beam, any oriented parallel to the global Z-axis is considered a column, and any other other is a brace. These section types are coordinated with frame section properties. {hidden-content} *Related Incident:* * {incident:no=48740|comment=Panel Zones in SAP2000} {hidden-content} h1.
