      I think that I may have initially misunderstood your initial post. If you are just trying to generate the Dynpac Modal Solution (dynmod) and Dynpac Mass (dynmas) files with a superelement, you can use the same procedure that I described in t his post…

      SACS 10 includes a new module called Dynamic Superelement which allows users to generate not only the reduced stiffness matrix, but also the reduced mass and reduced load vector for dynamic analyses. In the mode shape extraction analysis you will need…

      You can specify a superelement file by entering "I" on column 9 on the OPTIONS line in you SACS input file (See Below). When you create your analysis run file a location to enter the superelement input file should appear. Alternatively, you can specify…

      When you run the Utilities - Create Super Element Analysis, the loading specified in the Model File (sacinp) or Seastate Input File (seainp) are saved to the Superelement File (subsef). You can then reference those loads in any subsequent analysis when…

      Instead of running a Static Analysis - Basic Static Analysis in step 1, you need to run a Utilities - Create Superelement Analysis in order to generate the superelement (subsef) file. You may refer to Sample13 included in the installation directory…

      Hello friends, I'm an internship in a Offshore Oil and Gas service and supply company and I started working with SACS recently. I have a question concerning fatigue analysis: What are the steps to follows to do a time history fatigue analysis knowing…

    • Problem with SACS superelement stiffness matrix modelling

      Marijn Dekker
      Marijn Dekker
      Hey all, I am new to SACS and have some problems using superelements. I have a structure for which I want to use a superelement containing the stiffness matrix of the foundation. When I try to run the analysis of the Static - Basic Static Analysis type…
