Hi All,
In my current project i need to do spectral fatigue analysis for Topside modules by using Sacs software. Can you please let me know any article or any vedio showing step by step procedure to perform spectral fatigue analysis. In addition to that what are the inputs required to perform spectral fatigue.
Thanks and Regards
Sudhakar

Sample 23 in SACS installation directory is a Joint Mesher sample and please refer to Utilities manual for more detailed information.
Hi Vul,
Is there any list where we can see which SAMPLE PROBLEM in the folder relates to which analysis type? As you mentioned SAMPLE-8 is Dynamic Wave Spectral Fatigue. Thanks in advance.
The sample files are already labeled. You can see this from SACS Executive as shown in the image below.
