    • RE: SACS Broad-Band Random Process

      Geoff McDonald
      Geoff McDonald
      Kasiphon, The broad band option in SACS utilizes the equations presented in Application of computers in fatigue analysis ( Dirlik 1985). Dirlik uses an empirical formula to calculate the rainflow range density for various sea-states including double…

      Geoff McDonald

      Sam, I would definitely rerun the fatigue analysis in the new version if you are using the fatigue extract file with the new viewer. I believe there is some additional information that is saved to the fatigue extract file which may cause errors in Precede…

    • RE: Thickness Reference (tref) in SACS Built-in S-N Curve

      Geoff McDonald
      Geoff McDonald
      Kasiphon, When selecting the NT option for the Norsok 'T' SN curve, SACS actually uses the 3.2 cm minimum thickness instead of the 2.5 cm minimum output (See below). There is currently no way to override the minimum thickness used for thickness correction…

    • Thickness Reference (tref) in SACS Built-in S-N Curve

      Kasiphon Kurojjanawong
      Kasiphon Kurojjanawong
      Dear Sir, Do we have any command to change thickness reference in built-in S-N curve in SACS? For example, Thickness reference for tubular connection should be 32mm for DNVGL-RP-0005 (2014) S-N "T" Curve. However, SACS used tref = 25mm for…

      Geoff McDonald
      Geoff McDonald
      Kasiphon, The DNV reduction factors for single sided welds were added to SACS 10.0. Use 'ERD' in columns 78-80 on the FTOPT line to select this option. See the SACS 10.0 Connect Edition Release Notes for more information. Regards, Geoff

      The pair of forces are for the X and Y components of the pilehead stiffness as they are calculated independently. Refer to section 2.5.1 of the PSI manual. You want to linearize the piles using the loading that will be closest to the actual loading…

    • RE: Fatigue analysis process

      Geoff McDonald
      Geoff McDonald
      1. You only need the scatter diagram data for the fatigue input file which is based upon the environment. There is no iterative process since the environment is not dependent upon your structure. 2. The fraction of design life is the ratio of the time…

      Geoff McDonald
      Geoff McDonald
      In the case of tow fatigue, the naval architect would typically provide the structural engineer with response amplitude operators (RAO's) which are calculated using their hydrodynamic analysis in MOSES. The structural engineer would then calculate the…

    • RE: Combining Fatigue Damages

      Geoff McDonald
      Geoff McDonald
      You can combine multiple fatigue analyses by generating fatigue damage files. On the first fatigue analysis, select the "output fatigue damage file" option in column 76 on the FTOPT2 line in the fatigue input (ftginp) file. A fatigue damage (ftgdmg…

      Kapildeb, I apologize for the confusion. It appears that the CONSCF card image was generated incorrectly for the manual and needs to be fixed. I have attached an older version of the same card image with the correct input for that table and I have submitted…
