The current version of the computer program NONSAP for linear and nonlinear, static and dynamic finite element analysis is described. The solution capabilities, the numerical techniques used, the finite element library, the logical construction of the program and storage allocations are discussed. The user's manual of the program is given. Some sample solutions are included, which are standard data cases available with the program.
