HI...
I have a question about the differences among sap and Opensees...
Can you tell me more about Which one is more capable to analysis ? and What aspects of opensees make it more powerful than SAP?

This is very crucial for me to get more info about that....
Thanks in advance....

if you want to model frame structures and make pushover analysis (or dynamic) I suggest you to use opensees.
It has great uniaxial materials for concrete and you can put fibers in your beams` section ,using distributed plasticity.
If you specify your problem you will get a better answer about the capabilities of opensees .

good luck.
