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 ...

Open a shortcut folder in SACS Executive via virtual machines.

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...

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...

Under the current SACS versions, SACS uses annex F table F.1.1. of the Eurocode ENV 1993:1-1:1992 to determine the C1 factor in the elastic critical moment equation. Setting the C1 factor accurately is of paramount importance to determining the el...

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.

When plotting UCs in psvdb, SACS 2023 renders skipped members with their original color (unlike prvious versions where they where rendered in grey). This generates quite a confusion because it is not easy to determine if a member is green because ...
