  • RE: Towing analysis of a slender Pile in a Jack up barge

    I don't think I understand what you are trying to analyze. It sounds like you are asking if you can perform an analysis of the pile using inertial loading from transportation. This can be accomplished using the tow analysis where you can model the pile…
  • SACS - Frequency Domain Transportation

    Dear Sir, I have short question. Can we perform 'Frequency Domain Transportation in SACS' ?? The assumption is 1) We have Barge RAO 2) We know critical seastate i.e. wave spectrum, Hs, Tp The following queries is needed some guidance.…
  • SACS Motion Analysis for Tow

    Hello! I am analyzing a Jack Up Rig with a single column for wet tow. During wet tow, the jack-up will be floating on its hull and the column will be above water. The procedure I have adopted is as follows: 1. Perform a wave dynamic analysis in SACS…
  • SACS RAO - strange output and input

    I am curious about RAO command in SACS Tow input file. See attached picture, I put RAO = 1g (m/s^2 /m) which is already base on unit wave amplitude (Wave height / 2). Unit wave amplitude is 1m. (Wave Height = 2*1m = 2m) Then, SACS should give…
