Currently SACS does not have an option to consider warping for torsional resistance. This yields very high torsional rotation/deflection values . See post below for more detail. https://communities.bentley.com/products/offshore/f/maxsurf-moses-sac...

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 ...

My current Project requirement is to check member stresses due to temperature variation between winter season (-25 Deg C) to summer season (+40 Deg C). However, we cannot simulate this load in SACS. However, STAAD Pro can simulate the Stresses due...

load distribution is correct for skid loads, but not for footprint weight.

There is an option “Include buoyancy and wave load”. This option appears to do nothing when reviewing the results. For the wave load to work properly additional input would be need for the cross-section size and shape factor. Also, “wave load” sho...

The user can select member groups to exclude. However, in many cases it would be more beneficial to have the option to include member groups. In many cases the include list is much shorter than the exclude list.

Currently the reactions do not change when you change the load case.

With member weights you must select the member in the dropdown menu (much less efficient).

This should work like the joint rename where you put in the new name once click the joint and hit enter and keep going. The plate rename you must type in the new name each time.
