Time history of member forces

Hello everyone,

I wish to find time history of members stresses in my jacket model using SACS. I could get the plot of member forces but I am not sure whether the values are correct. I feel that gravity loads are missing, even though DEAD input line was included in SEASTATE input file. Can anyone help me?

The problem is to find member stresses in various members of a jacket model subjected to wave loading. 

Thanks in advance.

  • You can create the equivalent static loads and generate dyroci file. Please refer to the Dynamic Response manual. So, if you open up the OCI file you will be able to see all your loadings.  You can use the OCI file as a model input file and run basic static analysis and also perform the code check to see the stresses.  Should you still have issue with it, you may like to create a service request ticket and provide your model input files.
