&lt;p&gt;I am trying to perform a ship impact analysis using SACS collapse module. I had created a load case with an initial joint load (1000kN) impacting on a barge bumper. The energy required to be absorbed is given in the IMPACT line in the clpinp file. The structure is collapsing before complete absorption of the energy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My Question is, in such a case where the protective structure such as a barge bumper collapses, is there an option in SACS to apply the remaining unabsorbed energy on the jacket member behind (for eg on jacket leg) and continue the analysis till the complete energy is absorbed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Main point is the loading sequence should be same. That is, the defections and stress developed at the point of collapse of the barge bumper should be captured when the load case for impact on leg starts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please find below snap of clpinp file for reference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any input is much appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;can you help with this error in static analysis with psi input&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever I open my SACS model into Legacy Modeler, I get a single joint and am unable to see my model at all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343374/pastedimage1636192613927v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have tried&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;going to &amp;quot;Interactive Programs&amp;quot; under &amp;quot;Settings&amp;quot; and changing the &amp;quot;Precede version&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Legacy Modeler&amp;quot;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shortening the sac input file name while still keeping the .inp extension&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;storing the sacs input file in a shorter file path&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but I still face this issue. May I know how to resolve this?&amp;nbsp; I am using version 13.2 of the SACS software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yours Sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;

However, SACS ask for input data for Tz and Qz in kN/cm2. What should I do? should I divide Tz data by pile circumference and Qz by the corss-sectional area of the pile end? I would really appreciate if someone couuld give me a good and reasonable explanation of the Tz and Qz inputs. Many thanks in advance.

I am running a ship impact analysis using advanced collapse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have modelled the leg and pile as two separate members connected by wishbones and created two joints on the leg and pile at the same elevation.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have the following doubts:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. How to calculate the force deflection relation for the input in NLSPJJ card so as to stimulate the actual behaviour of a grouted concentric tubular leg and main pile.&lt;br /&gt;2. What are the degrees of freedom i must consider to represent the grouted connection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a sample of the calculations and input lines is given it will be very much helpful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For reference I have pasted a pic of the collapse input file i am trying to create, below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks in Advance!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
