Form: Analysis Window
As SAP2000 runs an analysis, information about the analysis can be specified to scroll by in the Analysis Window. Scrolling through the information provides the opportunity to check for any warnings or errors that might invalidate your analysis. Also note that this information is saved, in text form, in the .LOG file. Access the .LOG file using the File menu > Show Input/Output Text Files command, or any text editor or word processing program.
Use the Less/More buttons to reduce or increase the size of the form and, thus, the visibility of the data displayed.
Close the form by clicking the X in the upper right-hand corner of the form.
Note that the following Analysis Monitor Options appear on the Set Load Cases to Run form (Analyze menu > Set Load Cases to Run command). Use the options to specify when the Analysis window displays.
Always Show option. When this option is selected, the Analysis Window will display during the entire analysis processing period.
Never Show option. When this option is selected, the analysis will run, but the Analysis window will not display, and thus, the results will not be shown. To review the results, click the Analyze menu > Show Last Run Details command to display the most recent analysis results in the Analysis Window.
Show After ___ seconds option. When this option is selected, specify the number of seconds to elapse before the Analysis Window displays.
Also, as the analysis is running, a Show Details button will be added to the Status bar. Clicking this button will display the Analysis Window if they are not already displayed.
After an analysis has been run, the Analyze menu > Show Last Run Details command can be used to display the most recent analysis results in the Analysis Window.
