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.

While dividing a segmented member, it is very difficult to re-assign the group to the newly formed member. SACS should automatically take care the length at which member is divided and accordingly new group details should be assigned to the new me...

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.

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...

Adding a Terminate Collapse button that would print the results for the previous load step as the final load step could be beneficial. This would be separate from the cancel button as the cancel button just stops everything and you do not get sect...

When we develop a Collapse analysis graphically in postvue we can see the results and create graphics whit the results of the analysis, for example, I would like to extract the data of Load Factor against the Energy Absorbed when I make an Impact ...

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.
