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.

Considering the effects of seismic actions on soil properties, ISO 19901-2 and DNV-RP-0585 recommend that seismic forces be applied at one-third of the pile length. May I ask if the PSI module allows adjustment of the seismic force input location?...

To update the code check requirements based on more recent Recommended Practice. i.e.: 1. Fatigue option 'ERD' is based on DNV RP-C203 (2014). While this revision had long been superseded and not available from DNV website, we need to perform/veri...

I am currently working with the new SACS API to automate the post-processing of analysis results and have noticed that several functions that could be very helpful are not yet available. These additional features could greatly enhance our efficien...

Detailed reports could use more information and equations to make the calculations clearer and validation easier.

Dear Bentley, it would be awsome to have a sort of "tree menu" in a side window of datagen containing a structured list of links that allow to quickly navigate inside the input model. The list could be something like: - OPTIONS -GROUPS -MEMBERS -J...

Add the ability to tab through load case results one at a time. This was in the old postvue and was removed. Please put it back in the new view results.
