Recently, the following programs have been developed using the SACS API function. - Automatic modeling/analysis program and optimal design program based on SACS API - Various data sets generated through SACS API-based automatic interpretation func...

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.

None of the below criteria reflects the main purpose of a collapse analysis - to get maximum capacity before or at collapse. 1. The load sequence has been completed. 2. The maximum deflection has been reached. 3. The maximum number of iterations ...

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...

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.

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...

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...
