&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve just developed an offshore steel jacket and have run an analysis using SACS. I understand unity check is a stress ratio, but is anybody able give a more detailed explanation as to what unity check is exactly?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any help will be greatly appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
