Hi,
I need your advice on using the SACS program.
When ring stiffener is defined in SACS fatigue analysis, we can find below ring stiffened connection report on fatigue list file.
1. In this report, what is purpose of the "Ring SCF"?
2. If ring stiffeners present inside the tubular, does SACS program support fatigue analysis for connection between internal ring stiffener and tubular?
1. The "ring stiffened connection report" print the load case dependent SCF for ring stiffened joint, eg. SCF for K, T joint type.
2. SACS only check fatigue at joint connection, no fatigue is checked between tub inside and ring stiffener
