Hi guys,
i'm getting started with SACS. I have to model a 4 legs jacket for wind turbine application.
I modelled in Precede (not using structure definition wizard) 4 legs above mudline, so i have 4 joints called 101L, 102L, 103L, 104L at base of the jacket. These joints are restrained with "pilehd" condition.
Now i want to attach 4 piles below the mudline connecting them to 4 legs by these 4 joints. I think i have to do this preparing a psi input file and then performing a static analysis with PSI.
Please, note that i haven't pile inside leg, i only want to have a connection between pile and leg at mudline.
In psiinp file i defined pile head joints (101L, 102L, etc.) and i assigned the correct properties.
When i perform analysis (with sacinp, seainp, psiinp files) i get these errors:
** ERROR - PILE DESCRIPTION AT LINE NO. 348 JOINT NUMBER 101L HAS ILLEGAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
** ERROR - PILE DESCRIPTION AT LINE NO. 348 NAMES PILE GROUP LABEL,PL1 ,NOT FOUND IN GROUP LIST
** ERROR - PILE DESCRIPTION AT LINE NO. 348 JOINT NUMBER 102L HAS ILLEGAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
** ERROR - PILE DESCRIPTION AT LINE NO. 348 JOINT NUMBER 103L HAS ILLEGAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
** ERROR - PILE DESCRIPTION AT LINE NO. 348 JOINT NUMBER 104L HAS ILLEGAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
*** ERROR - NUMBER OF INPUT PILES 4 IS INCONSISTENT WITH SACS STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION,NO.PILES = 0
How can i solve these issues? I hope you can help me!
Thank you guys!
