SAP2000 stores section-property information in database tables which may be accessed through Edit > Interactive Database Editing > Property Definitions > Frame Section Properties. The Expose All Input Tables option may need to be selected to display all relevant tables.
Table: Frame Section Properties 01 - General is the main table which stores, for various section types, dimensions and such resultant section properties as area, moment of inertia, section moduli, etc. Additional tables store supplementary information relevant to specific section types, such as the width and thickness of cover plates which combine with I-sections.
For the parametric sections available (I-sections, rectangular sections, etc.), section dimensions (plate thickness, width, radii, etc.) are specified, then resultant section properties are automatically calculated. Once changes made in the database table are applied to the model, revised properties are automatically implemented.
Certain section properties, such as those published in the AISC Steel Design Manual, are not easily calculated because of round fillets and such other specific shapes and details. These properties may be imported using the Define > Section Properties > Frame Sections > Import New Property menu, which reads directly from a .PRO file located in the software installation directory. Once database tables are saved, changes to sections and properties will overwrite as default values.
Imported sections are tracked through the SectInFile and FileName records of the Table: Frame Section Properties 01 - General database table. A tool which enables the creation of .PRO files is available upon request.
Nonprismatic frame objects should initially be drawn with a constant cross section, then assigned a tapered section definition. To begin, select Define > Section Properties > Frame Sections to ensure that the start and end sections of the tapered frame are available in the Frame Properties menu, shown in Figure 1:
To import sections, select Import New Property, then click the icon for section type. Scroll down to select the section database, labeled SECTIONS8.PRO, and add any sections desired for modeling. To define a nonprismatic frame section, select Add New Property > Other on the scroll-down menu, then select the Nonprismatic icon, shown in Figure 2:
Next, name the section, specify the start and end sections associated with object taper, and specify segment Length as 1.0 and Length Type as Variable. This applies taper as a ratio of the length between each node. The Absolute option correlates with exact taper length. Finally, specify how moment of inertia varies. Wide-flange sections are parabolic in major and linear in minor directions. Select ADD to complete the definition, and OK to complete the process, as shown in Figure 3:
The Set Display Options command (indicated by the check-box icon) gives users control over model views. Users may enable Local Axes to ensure that start and end nodes are as desired for tapered objects. Users may also enable the Extrude View feature to review the profile of section depth.

SAP2000 uses Table: "FRAME SECTION PROPERTIES 1 - GENERAL" to associate material properties and to define the section properties and geometry for a frame section property. Strand7uses the frame section property in association with a frame section assignment to define beam properties.
SAP2000 uses Table: "FRAME SECTION ASSIGNMENTS" to associate frame section properties with a specified frame. Strand7 uses the frame section assignment in association with a frame section property to define beam properties.
SAP2000 uses Table: "CABLE SECTION ASSIGNMENTS" to associate cable section properties with a specified cable. Strand7 uses the cable section assignment in association with cable section definitions to define cable properties.
SAP2000 uses Table: "FRAME LOCAL AXES ASSIGNMENTS 1 - TYPICAL" and Table: "FRAME LOCAL AXES ASSIGNMENTS 2 - ADVANCED" to define the frame local axes. Strand7 uses the frame local axes to define the principal axes orientation for a beam of type Beam.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 01 - GENERAL" to define a link type for a specified link property. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 02 - LINEAR" to define link properties for the LINEAR link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 03 - MULTILINEAR" to define link properties for the MULTILINEAR link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 04 - DAMPER" to define link properties for the DAMPER link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 05 - GAP" to define link properties for the GAP link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 06 - HOOK" to define link properties for the HOOK link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 07 - RUBBER ISOLATOR" to define link properties for the RUBBER ISOLATOR link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.

SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY DEFINITIONS 10 - PLASTIC (KINEMATIC)" to define link properties for the PLASTIC (KINEMATIC) link type. Strand7 uses the link property definition in association with a link property assignment to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK PROPERTY ASSIGNMENTS" to associate link properties with a specified link. Strand7 uses the link property assignment in association with a link property definition to specify a beam as type Connection or Point Contact.
SAP2000 uses Table: "LINK LOCAL AXES ASSIGNMENTS 1 - TYPICAL" and Table: "LINK LOCAL AXES ASSIGNMENTS 2 - ADVANCED" to define the link local axes. Strand7 uses the link local axes to define the principal axes orientation for a beam of type Connection or Point Contact.
Note that the orientation of the Strand7 Beam Elements: Local and Principal Axes and SAP2000 local axes are not the same for SAP2000 sections ANGLE and DOUBLE ANGLE. For section ANGLE, the SAP2000 local 2 axis is coincident with the Strand7 local y-axis. For section DOUBLE ANGLE, the SAP2000 local 2 axis is rotated 180 degrees from the Strand7 principal 2 axis.
Strand7 assigns nonlinear force-displacement or moment-rotation data for the MULTILINEAR and PLASTIC (KINEMATIC) link types to the Connection type beams. Strand7 posts these Force vs Displacement and Moment vs Rotation tables with the default title "Link Property Name", where Link Property Name refers to the name of the link property. For example, the third force-displacement table associated with the Connection type beam property LINK PROPERTY 5 would result in a Force vs Displacement table with the following title: "LINK PROPERTY 5 2"

Strand7 creates user-defined Cartesian coordinate systems from the solid local axes orientations when required by a brick property or attribute. Strand7 posts these coordinate systems as new user-defined coordinate systems with the default title "SAP Brick UCS N".
I found this problem when I was importing HSS sections from AISC profile file, that the default material for HSS is not 46ksi and all the tube were imported with Fy=50ksi. It was tedious to go and change every HSS material one by one to Fy=46ksi.
