Including the latest version of the SACS release, the pressure loadings applied on plate (as a plate pressure) is getting deleted once the loaded plates are undergoing further meshing. It is evident that meshing of plate is a very important featur...

In the current version, SACS only calculates wake encounter for members that are almost vertical (within 15 degrees) if I enter WE or WD in CDM card. However , the option for NOT nearly vertical members (more than 15 degrees from vertical) is not ...

Refer to Section 3.4.3 of Dynamic Response Manual, only Davenport Coherence Function is available. Moreover, the decay factors are fixed at 12 and 8 for Cy and Cz. The suggestion is Allow user to change the Decay factors for Davenport Coherence Fu...

It is suggest that Bentley allows to change the email which is used for log-in to bentley systems and also can provide second email or backup email in case of the 1st email is not available anymore.

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...

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...

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...

L&T Hydrocarbon uses SACS extensively. Pain is time consumption in generating reports. Need is to submit reports in word format whereas report generation happens in list format, process involves copy and paste job having hundreds of pages repo...

Having the option to only look at results for inline tubular fatigue lives would be helpful.
