Hey dude!, I just want to truly thank you so much as you are a king in explaining, keep up the good work you are awesome!! Please do more examples using other software that civil engineers use..

I've just made it through a truss thanks to your tutorial, I was getting the DEAD weight factor and pinned restrictions all wrong and now I'm good to go, thanks a lot!

Thank u so so much :-* :-*

The book problem you have, shows 79.2 in tension because the arrows are pointing outwards, why is SAP showing -79.2? Same for member AB, the arrows are inward but your SAP forces show 21 positive?

[@AFMathandEngineering]

It's all just sign convention, whichever direction SAP assumes is positive.

[@adityaherfrison]

how do you call the calculator

[@AFMathandEngineering]

Do you mean how do you solve on Sapp? Click the little x - + / button.

[@DragonUltimate]

@@AFMathandEngineering he meant how did u do what u did at 4:43.
Shift double click doesnt seem to do anything

[@DragonUltimate]

Figured it out. Shift+double click only works when you are entering a value and the box is selected where you are typing.
