How do I perform a SAP 2009 analysis?

I've got PartL1 2006 but I can't see any options to do a SAP 2009 analysis, is this possible?

The Virtual Environment has not been approved for SAP for a while now but we do link to JPA designer who are approved for v9.90.

What you need for the link to work is version 2012 of the VE, a license key for UK Dwellings (this gives you a key to JPA too) and the latest version of JPA Designer.

The latest version of JPA Designer can import models from VE 2012 onwards. http://www.techlit.co.uk/

The link works as follows:
1. Draw your geometry in the VE.
2. Switch to UK Dwellings module in VE Compliance.
3. Put rooms into room groups, dwelling 1, dwelling 2 etc.. anything you place in the Other category of the UK Dwellings room group will not be exported.
4. Assign your constructions in UK Dwellings module in VE Compliance.
5. Export to JPA designer
When you export from v6.1.1 it still creates a v9.81 project. To make it v9.90 (SAP 2009), in JPA Designer select the v9.81 project and then Edit>Copy selected SAP V9.8x 2005 dwelling to a V9.90 2009 dwelling.

If you want to purchase UK dwellings then send an email to sales@iesve.com and we will provide you with a quote.
