Dear All,
I am following the "Jacket Type Structure - Modeling Loads Using Weight Feature" tutorial from the "QuickStart for SACS Offshore Structure" Learning Path.In this tutorial, dead and live loads on the structure are defined by first defining the surfaces to SACS and then defining pressure values on the surfaces.Following that, environmental loads are defined in the program.
My problem: I can't see the dead and live load conditions when I try to combine them with the environmental loads (wave, wind, etc.) Since the dead and live loads are defined as WEIGHTS, they are not in the LOAD combination list, as seen in the screenshot.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Mustafa,
The feature you are using is to model the additional weights that are not modeled with beam elements. You make load cases from the weights by applying accelerations, then you will see these load cases in the Load Combination tab. This is explained later part of the tutorial.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Bitna
