Results Comparison
Vertical Displacements and Bending Moments along principal axis of cross section, for
each load case, obtained from ScadaPro analysis, are presented in Table A2.3.1 and A2.3.2
respectively as compared with those obtained from Sap2000 and Abaqus software.

Computer Files
The project file for this example is “FF3”. These files are provided as part of the ScadaPro
installation.
Conclusion
The result comparison reflects acceptable agreement between ScadaPro software and results
obtained from Sap2000 and Abaqus.
