&lt;p&gt;I have a question that relates to the type of beam element in SACS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I know SACS uses the Finite Element Method and thus it should have a library of Finite elements. Where can I find the FE library of SACS? For example, as in many other FEM-based softwares you can have linear or quadratic beam elements to model beam-like structural components. The same is for 2D and 3D elements. Is is possible to choose between different types of FE in SACS? I looked into the documentation of SACS (which is located in SACS Installation folder) but did not find any information about that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another question is that how the FE mesh is generated in SACS?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried a simple beam supported on its 2 ends and found that only one FE was generated, which means that SACS did not divide the beam into multiple finite elements. I really need more information on this aspect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>6x6  stiffness matric in SACS</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/offshore/f/maxsurf-moses-sacs-forum/193139/6x6-stiffness-matric-in-sacs</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Feb 2020 15:33:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:3baddb68-ae5a-4c41-a604-836948982baf</guid><dc:creator>wenchengqian</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Hi all,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I would like to &lt;/span&gt;know how SACS gets the 6x6 stiffness matrix created from pile super element&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp; how&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;SCAS&amp;nbsp;considers the constraints of the whole jacket and other piles on a pile head.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I want to know&amp;nbsp;its principle.&lt;span&gt;Is there any other information&amp;nbsp;i can check?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;If anyone could help in this would be grateful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
