Problem

How to apply moving load in SACS?

Solution

To apply the moving load, first you need to define basic load cases. Then by using the MOVLOD command, you should call the basic loads which shall be included in the moving load case. MOVLOD will produce a new load case and if you provide the command within an existing load, SACS will show a “System Error” message.

Followed by the MOVLOD command, you need to define the load steps and directions using MOVSTP command.

For a sample example, please refer SACS Seastate Manual section 2.9.2.6.
