Results Comparison
Vertical displacements and bending moments along horizontal principal axis obtained from
ScadaPro analysis are presented in Table A2.4.4 and Table A2.4.5 respectively and
compared with those obtained from Sap2000 and Abaqus software.

Computer Files
The project file for this example is “FF4”. These files are provided as part of the ScadaPro
installation.
Conclusion
The result comparison reflects acceptable agreement between the ScadaPro software and
results obtained from Sap2000 and Abaqus.
