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...

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.

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 (...
