User's Manual for CEL/NONSAP, A Nonlinear Structural Analysis Program.

Abstract

This user's manual documents the input data required for the computer program CEL/NONSAP. NONSAP is a nonlinear structural analysis program that predicts either static or dynamic response of structural analysis with material and/or geometric nonlinearities. The program can also be used to analyze linear problems. The following element options are contained in the program: truss, two-dimensional continuum, three-dimensional continuum and three-dimensional nodal tie elements. The three-dimensional nodal tie elements may be used to simulate structural dislocations and special conditions.
