• How does SACS calculate wave loads on frame members?

    I have access to SACS but have traditionally used other software to design structures, and in-house software my company developed to apply ocean wave forces; it calculates wave kinematics using Fenton's Fourier Series expansion solution to the Stream…
  • Extrapolated and Stretched Airy Wave Theory

    Dear Sir I am curious about Airy wave theory using in SACS. Refer to 'Seastate manual', AIRY in WAVE card means that kinematic will be calculated at wave crest and trough. AIRC in WAVE card means that kinematic will be calculated at water line…
