Dear Bentley I would like to request an option to perform 2-levels super-element creation. For example, We import super-element from party 'A' to apply at joint #1. In our analysis, we also need to create super-element at joint #2 for party 'B' to...

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 ...

As we know that SACS already use rainflow counting method in the fatigue calculation of Time History Analysis "I request SACS to separate the rainflow counting out as a separate module which user can call to use with other module rather than only ...

Dear Bentley, I would like to have option to create SACS Database (SACSDB) to play with SQLite from CSF file without performing code check. Currently, SACSDB will not generate for common analysis i.e. wave reponse, dynamic response. I will have op...

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...

Dear Bentley I would like to propose to have DNV alternative SCF formula for the correction of Efthymiou SCF equation. Refer to DNV-RP-C203 (2021), Table B-1 shows alternative SCF equation for the Chord/Brace Crown location i.e. Eq 6b and 7b, see ...

Dear Bentley, I request to update SACS ring utility programme based on latest Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain book. Further, the following update is desired. The unit system of present Roarks program should be updated for MKS/SI system The ...

This feature will be usefull if for one set of joints you need to use two (or more) distinct SN curves along the jacket life time (typically a S-N curve with paint in the first 15 years and free corrosion at the end of the jacket life) This way we...

I proposed SACS to have an option to put PARTIALLY FIXITIES on the beam end or the boundary conditions. Currently, SACS has only option to specify fully fixed or fully pinned at the beam end or boundary condition. If it is allowed user to specify ...

Refer to Section 3.4.3 of Dynamic Response Manual, only Davenport Coherence Function is available. Moreover, the decay factors are fixed at 12 and 8 for Cy and Cz. The suggestion is Allow user to change the Decay factors for Davenport Coherence Fu...
