Has Lotsberg's update to Efthymiou SCF been implemented in SACS?
I don't believe so. Do you have a link with some more information about the implementation of this SCF method?
Thanks,
Geoff
Hi Geff,
These are equations 6b and 7b from Table B-1 of DNVGL-RP-C203.
Please see also the section 3.3-2 of the same document. Extract is given below.
Thanks

Yes, this is done for the Efthymiou SCF determination. See section 1.4.5 of the Fatigue manual for a description of how the SCF's are determined at each location. The more general form of the equation is included in our documentation.

Hi Geoff, I am an offshore wind engineer from Goldwind, China. I have some doubts about the SCF calculation for monopile (INLINE TUBES) in SACS.
First is the default misalignment (δm in DNVGL-RP-C203), and document of SACS says for DNV it is like below, 20% or 6.35mm.
However in the DNVGL-OS-C401, the misalignment is ruled by the region of the structure and maximum is 4mm.
Second, whether SACS can consider the SCF of different type of Aligned.
