Problem
How can I generate Slamming Force in SACS?
Solution
Slam is not included automatically in SACS wave loading.
To cater the slam force some of the workarounds are proposed as below:
- Modify the drag coefficient for members in the splash zone to account for both the drag and slam effects.
- Manually calculate the slam load from the particle velocities which you will get from the SACS analysis output and enter the slam loads as separate loading.
