To echo André, it would be useful to see a definition of what you mean. The secondary polytope is generally defined for a point configuration, not for a polytope. Here are two definitions, the first from Carl Lee's article "Subdivisions and triangulations of polytopes" (*[Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry][1]*), and the second from Sven Herrmann's paper, "On the facets of the secondary polytope" ([arXiv.0908.2737v3][2]). In the first, $V$ is a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, in the second, $\cal{A}$ is a multiset of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. <hr /> <img src="http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke/MathOverflow/SecondaryPolytope.jpg" alt="SecondaryPolytope" /> <hr /> Each vertex of the secondary polytope corresponds to a triangulation of the point set. So under one interpretation (which cannot be what you intend), a simplicial polytope has just one triangulation—itself—and so the secondary polytope consists of just that one vertex.
