Add a more accurate (F.E.M. based) methodology to determine the elastic critical moment for lateral torsional buckling in the Eurocode calculations
Under the current SACS versions, SACS uses annex F table F.1.1. of the Eurocode ENV 1993:1-1:1992 to determine the C1 factor in the elastic critical moment equation. Setting the C1 factor accurately is of paramount importance to determining the el...
When plotting UCs in psvdb, SACS 2023 renders skipped members with their original color (unlike prvious versions where they where rendered in grey). This generates quite a confusion because it is not easy to determine if a member is green because ...
Status quo: Most users have to guess the number of spacing between letters when trying to search certain sections from the output listing. An example is shown in attached Suggestion: Improve the searchability. The table of content can also act as ...
Multiple precede graphical color settings configurations
I would like to have the possibility to save and easily switch between 2 display color settings configurations (not model dependent), for example one with dark background for modelling and one with white background for taking screengrabs.
3D Visualization of joint strength utilization similar as for fatigue
Nowadays SACS is able to show extracted fatigue results for tubular joints in precede. This is a very powerful tool compared to having only a listing. It would be helpful to have the same 3D viewer option for joint strength checks results, includi...
To implement the code check of 2022 edition Euro code 1993 and the code check of 2020 edition ISO 19902 in SACS next version
I request the implementation of code checks for the 2022 Eurocode 1993 and 2020 ISO 19902 in the next SACS version. This update will enhance structural analyses, optimize designs, and ensure compliance. Please prioritize this enhancement.
Single command to intersect multiple members with nodes (Same as STAAD)
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...
Make results of deflection results for the SPAN members available in postview and sacsdb
Currently, the deflection/servicability check for the "SPAN" members are only available in saclst report. It would be good for the postview and the and sacsdb (sqlite database) to also include the results.
