SACS has capability to calculate Center of Damage seastate. However, SACS internally used a=1.8 and m=3. Currently, we face the problem with DNV to use other parameter i.e. a=1.0, m=5 Can SACS provide option to change this parameter ? At the momen...

Having labels for additional categories of data would be useful for multiple reasons. Something like LOADLB for more data groups (i.e., Load Combinations (LCOMB), Areas (area), etc.).

In many of the SACS input there is an option to either include something or exclude something (i.e., if my option is to include then there is no option to exclude and vice versa). I think you should have the option to either include or exclude items.

In the Fatigue user manual, provide details of the in-line SCFs calculations performed for each of the available code options, including the equations used and references to the latest codes being considered or any other basis or best practice bei...

MultiRun Parallel Execution in Automation i have raise a ticket asking whether the subject feature availability and received the below response from support team. "However, the documentation does not explicitly state that the MultiRun parallel beh...

I believe it is great feature, and should be widely used by structural engineer. However, I believe that the current resources are not well described or difficult for regular engineer, with no prior or little to none experience in coding. Include ...

At present, a demanding calculation such as Limiting KG only utilises about 25% of my machine's capacity (WIn11/i7 processor). It is possible to run an additional instance of Stability and share the calculations to shorten the time taken by half (...

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...

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 ...

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.
