Hi,
I would like to perform time history fatigue analysis. Is there any sample or procedure on how to perform the analysis in SACS? in case yes, please feel free to send it to my email. ( ali_aidibi_94@hotmail.com )
Many thanks in advance.

Hi
I am working on fatigue analysis of jacket structures. As per the SACS doement as below
"3.5.4 Using Stresses at the Chord Face By default, member hot spot stresses at the modeled end of the brace are used for fatigue calculations. For members…
Hello
I am doing pile fatigue check based on pil.csf file (obtained from PSI analysis).
Pile is defined as concentric tubular section so that grout is done in between the tubular.
in FTOPT line grouted memeber option is selected and in FTOPT2 ,colum…
I have scatter diagram with total number of occurrences 175320 waves. It is indicated a note that these records are " Hourly event number of occurrence - reference period: 20

Hi Users,
I am getting the following error when I run the spectral fatigue analysis file:
SEASTATE FILE 1 HAS 60 LOAD CASES WHERE POSTFILE 1 HAS 1440 LOAD CASES
Can anyone explain this error and what must have gone wrong?
Hi everyone,
I would like to inquire what is the significance of mesh intensity in joint meshing. In the Utilities manual, section 3.2.3, the following highlighted statements are made (see screenshot below):
Which lead to these questions:

hi all ,
while generating the seastates (dynamic transfer function) on a cantilever inside the water it was noticed that there is bulb at the early frequency. any ideas why this happens
and thanks
Hi there.
I need to perform Fatigue analysis for sea transportation in order to understand this calculation I started studying this guide "Tow Fatigue with SACS".
I ran into a problem, if I understood correctly this formulas => have to calculate these…
Hi,
When we run RAO spectral fatigue we have warning message like below. What is the cause and consequence of this warning?
We didn't have this warning before when we had 16 headings (22.5 deg increment) in RAO and 16 wave scatters in ftginp.
Scatters…
Dear all
I'm working on a spectral analysis for a leg member.
An I extract the nominal stress range and cycle counting for a member, say, by using St-cyl-command ?
the reason is that, the member has weld detail joints which can't be checked within…
Hello everyone,
Could you please clarify the significance of the resulting RMS value when we run the spectral fatigue analysis?
RMS value = Sqrt(m0) or RMS = 2 Sqrt(m0) ???
Thanks!
Hai,
I have run the analysis for Spectral wind fatigue. But there are error occur during analysis.
This is my dynamic response input file
Can someone help me on this.
Dear all,
I am trying to use Center of Damage Utility for calculate COD wave height and time period.
In the fatigue input file, I could only input 11 wave heights in SCWAV card.
Can anyone explain how to input more than 11 wave heights in wave scatter…
Introduction
A tow fatigue analysis may be performed in SACS by using the Tow and Fatigue programs. This post describes the methods used to generate a transfer function from the Tow program and the response spectrum and damage in the Fatigue program…

Dear Sir,
I am curious about SCF calculation for tubular connection with ring stiffeners.
It is mentioned that Smedley and Fisher (1991) formula is applied.
The R-factor calculated by using the formula mentioned above looks ok.
However, the final…

Hi,
I try to conduct fatigue analysis by using SACS.
With very useful answer in the communities, fatigue analysis was successful. However, I also want to conduct a fatigue experiment for some members based on results from fatigue analysis by SACS…
