Input files

The binary input .SDB file is the main SAP2000 input file. Additional input files may be created, depending on the load cases defined, to store specific information about the model. These separate input files are listed as follows:

...

  • When analysis results take a significant amount of time to generate. 
  • When results will be reviewed on a computer without  SAP2000
  • When results are archived for a particular software version. Then results from an upgraded version may be compared with those from the current version.
