Linear Analysis - Training and license issue

Good morning,

I am very new to the SACS software and licensing system. I have a SACS Structural Advanced license and I am following the tutorial on LEARNserver, called: "Jacket Type Structure - Linear Static Analysis".

Even if the tutorial is in the section "SACS Structural Advanced" it contains joint can checks, so when I try to run the model I get an alert as follow:

I unchecked the box "Edit Tubular Joint Check Options" but I still get the error.

My question are:

1. How can I run the analysis removing joint checks?

2. Where can I find tutorial specific for my license?

3. How can I lock all the feature not included in the license? I would like to avoid a situation where mistakenly I use I license I didn't pay for.

Regards,

Daniele

  • Hello Daniele,

    1. How can I run the analysis removing joint checks?

    A: Just leave the "Edit Tubular Joint Check Options" unchecked. Ultimate license is required for Seastate program to calculate hydrodynamics forces. That is why you are seeing this window.

    2. Where can I find tutorial specific for my license?

    A: There is no tutorial specific for this license. In Advanced license you have permission to run environmental loads only for wind profiles. You should consider this.

    3. How can I lock all the feature not included in the license? I would like to avoid a situation where mistakenly I use I license I didn't pay for.

    A: This license window will always show up when you try to run anything that is not included in your default license. If you click "Yes", it is going to use a different license.
