It is probably mainly copying and updating the label but it looks so much more professional when one can say on is indeed using the latest code as according contract.

If one reads the definition in DataGen or in the 'input lines' in the Tow manual one expect that XYZ-TOW-coordinate system implies that roll is about X and pitch about Y of one's SACS-model-coordinate system and not that the Z-axis flips downward ...

Please see the example of inconsistent LOAD / SHEAR / MOMENT diagrams offered by SACS for the test case discussed in incident CS0432943, with the relevant details and discussion. Basically, the LOAD values shown in the diagram are significantly di...

Dear Bentley, I requested SACS to have the VANILLA module to calculate "Dynamic Level Ice Loading" in the future development. Currently, SACS already have ice vibration module which is based on "Ice Tooth model". This fundamental model and concept...

There would be a benefit to have the ability to specify an internal pressure on a tubular member. This would be useful for the design of risers with wave and current loads acting simultaneously.

Unlike STAAD, SACS does not have a functionality to extract envelope of results for members or supports. It will be helpful to Engineers to have such functionality, as it will reduce the workload on us. Thanks.

Considering the effects of seismic actions on soil properties, ISO 19901-2 and DNV-RP-0585 recommend that seismic forces be applied at one-third of the pile length. May I ask if the PSI module allows adjustment of the seismic force input location?...

When ordering SACS to do the unity checks according to the Eurocode 3, the SACS manual states in section 3.6.4: “1. It is extremely important to define physical members as a span using SPAN lines.“ However, the current version of Precede has very ...

In the current input file structure in SACS there is an option to set the buckling length of the bottom flange of wide flange beams separately in the GRUP card. This means that for every physical member separate GRUP cards need to be created to se...

I am currently working with the new SACS API to automate the post-processing of analysis results and have noticed that several functions that could be very helpful are not yet available. These additional features could greatly enhance our efficien...
