I performed a dropped object analysis for object mass 0.41 mT falling from a height of 5 m height which is equivalent to energy 20 kJ. SACS energy graph shows 17.9 kJ energy was absorbed by the structure during drop object impact process. The question…

Dear friends How to set dent member calculation in boat impact analysis? for example, I have an impact joint (IMJT), which connects two members (0001-IMJT), and (IMTJ-0002) How to set the following dent member calculation? -------------------…

Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to ask some problem that I encounter when I use SACS 5.7 I am performing Ship I mpact analysis (Static) on a wellhead fixed platform based on the practice workbook provided by Bentley. When I start running the analysis…

Join this discussion with Parvinder Jhita, Senior Product Manager for SACS, as he dives into large deflection elasto-plastic analysis with SACS Collapse. Key Points Fundamental concepts behind the SACS Collapse application Pushover analysis for…

When running an offshore platform pushover analysis I get a consistent error (ERROR-MAX. ITERATIONS EXCEEDED AT PILE JOINT "XX". I ran the model using pinned connection at the base of the structure and it runs fine, so the error has to do with the soil…

Can we do Dynamic nonlinear analysis/ dynamic pushover anlysis/ dynamic solllapse analysis in SACS???

I am a new SACS user. I am running a collapse analysis on a fixed jacket structure. The structure "collapsed" because of a rotation difference greater than 2 radians. I haven't seen this happen on previous structures. The collapse trigger is typically…
