Results Comparison
Theoretical results for angle of twist (
Pilkey, W.D., Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams:
Computational Methods, Wiley, New York, 2002
) are compared with the ones obtained from
ScadaPro analysis in Table A2.1.2. In the same table, results from Sap2000 and Abaqus are
also shown.

The project file for this example is “FF1”. These files are provided as part of the ScadaPro
installation.
Conclusion
The result comparison shows an exact match between ScadaPro software, theoretical values
and results obtained from Abaqus and Sap2000.
