The present study presents a tutorial of the SAP 2000 structural analysis program for
modeling, dimensioning and structural analysis of a building with structure in metallic
profiles. SAP 2000 is software for structural analysis that uses the finite element
method, developed by the American company CSI - Computer & structures Inc. and
marketed in Brazil by the company Múltiplos Softwares Técnicos in. The software is
widely used to analyze small, medium and large buildings, however, despite being an
important analysis and dimensioning tool, it is noted the difficulty of civil engineering
students in learning to use it, as well as the shortage of material in Portuguese
didactically presenting tutorials to assist in the use of the program, since, as
structures evolve, becoming more and more complex, in most situations, resolution
by means of calculations analytical. In this way, the present work aims to contribute
to reduce these difficulties, presenting a manual of modeling, dimensioning and
analysis of metallic structure, in order to generate the adequate profile for each bar,
as well as the diagrams of efforts, deflections, shear, reactions and deformed
