    This document contains frequently asked questions about response-spectrum analysis in SAP2000. It addresses questions about defining response spectrum load cases and curves, applying the analysis only above grade, interpreting deflected shapes from the analysis, obtaining output such as response spectra and forces for each mode, and limitations in stress output. The questions cover topics such as the appropriate scale factor for load cases, defining multiple curves, changing damping, applying the analysis to only part of a structure, interpreting identical deflected shapes for different load orientations, linear combination deflections, and obtaining modal output details.
