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...

Open a shortcut folder in SACS Executive via virtual machines.

Hi, EN 1993-1-8 weld requirements requires no evaluation/check if there's full penetration weld between beam-beam joint. however, in real life full penetration welds are quite expensive and we could go with partial penetration+Fillet welds, but to...

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 ...

In STAAD we have a single command to Select Multiple Members and Use Intersect option for creating the node at all intersection points without modifying Location of Releases and Loads. However, the same command is not available in SACS. In SACS We...

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 ...

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.
