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...

Include footprint Group

Actually, in SACS we have the option to exclude group elements when we use the weight option "footprint weight" by the card EXCGRP (Footprint group exclusion), but sometimes the group list to include is shorter than the exclude list, it will be gr...

Datagen needs "Replace all IN SELECTION" feature

Currently, I can press Alt and do a column selection in Datagen but I can't replace the values in the selection only. Many text editors like Notepad++ or VScode have this option.

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.

Add option to include warping for torsional resistance, similar to STAAD.Pro

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...

Temperature Variation Simulation option

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...

Combine damage results from 2 fatigue extraction files

This feature will be usefull if for one set of joints you need to use two (or more) distinct SN curves along the jacket life time (typically a S-N curve with paint in the first 15 years and free corrosion at the end of the jacket life) This way we...
