can any body please explain about dropped object analysis in SACS.
From Section 1.3.3 of the Dynamic Response manual:
The Dynamic Response module can predict the response of structure resulting from an impact from a
vessel or a dropped object. The process can also account for fluid damping for a submerged portion of
the structure by using either an equivalent fluid damping or alternatively the program can calculate the
actual fluid forces at each step during the integration process.
Also refer to Sample 18 in the SACS program directory which contains a complete dropped object analysis.
Regards,
Geoff
