&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My name is Sara from Italy, I am very new to the Sacs, could you please help me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First of all; after assigning all the member sections in order to perform static analysis, shall I calculate all the section&amp;#39;s self-weight by myself and then impose it as distributed dead loads on the structure or SACS automatically calculates the weight of sections and consider them as self-weight of the structure?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;secondly, when I do not impose any kind of dead load on the structure, in TOW analysis for inertia analysis and calculating roll, pitch,heave there will be nothing !!! so I wonder that must impose the self-weight of the structure as a distributed load in order have inertia forces. Am I right or wrong?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thirdly, what is the sequence for transportation analysis I mean: firstly, I created my model, then I generated TOW analysis, and thirdly members check by means of static analysis. am I right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please guide me, I urgently need your help&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sara&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
