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 ...

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...

Offshore structures are code checked to the AISC 9th edition for W-section. In the case where there are no beam failures for Cb = 1.0, there is no issue. However, where there are beam failures and the application of Cb is used to enhance the beam ...

Currently, SACS does not support prismatic section with Eurocode. This is required when modelling deck with stiffeners wherein prismatic sections have to be modelled in order to capture the stiffness contribution of deck plates.

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

It would be nice to have the ability to have material types in SACS. This would help when doing material take offs. This would be a new set of cards where the user would specify a material type (name) and all the structural properties (elastic mod...

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 ...

There are many operations in the load conditions that would be a huge benefit in the weight condition input. Some examples are: 1 Member Area 2 Labels 3 Copy condition 4 Rename condition 5 Remove the conditions from the combination it is deleted 6...
