Structured with your success in mind, the technology presentation will focus on recommended techniques for using the SACS Wind Turbine Job Creator. You will learn how to:

  • Generate multiple wind turbine analyses
  • Create an Excel spreadsheet with analyses variables
  • Produce a wind turbine job settings file

The Offshore SIG is open to all Bentley users, and there will be time to share input and ask questions. Live, complimentary, and interactive – receive one PDH for your Bentley Transcript. When joining this session, registrants should use the Guest option.

  • Hello every one, I'm studying  the SACS Wind Turbine Job Creator. Please explain me some questions:

    1, I don't know How to create excel file? Can You send me a template file.

    2, CONFIG File define:

     Ex: WAVTIM, Water Depth MLLW, 11, 6, F

    What does the mean of data "11, 6, F"?


    Thanks you!

  • The configuration file defines which input will be modified in the text file by the data specified in the Excel spreadsheet. 

    The input follows this format:

    [Input Line], [Input Description], [Starting Column], [Length], [Input Type]

    So for your example, the configuration file would set up a field that will modify the WAVTIM input line starting at column 11 with a length of 6 columns with a float. If you take a look at the Wave Response documentation, this corresponds exactly to the input for the Water Depth on the WAVTIM line.

    Regards,
