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...

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...

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 While this revision had long been superseded and not available from DNV website, we need to perform/veri...

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?...

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...

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.

Model a single plate using 3 or 4 points . Press the "Automesher button" to get the best possible FE mesh (either mesh or meshless technique) by default.

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

For joint class report from the interactive fatigue, allow the user to select the specific wave direction for reporting. By doing this, we will not have the issues to exceed the maximum number of load cases (9999) allowed in the program.
