    Hi everyone, Could someone explain me how SACS consider bouyancy mass their dynamic analysis? In Dynpac tutorial (§2.3.1), it said "For structures immersed in fluid, the added or virtual mass and the mass of entrapped fluid ca nbe generated automatically…

    I have read through the Dynpac Manual Section 2.1 on Retained Degrees of Freedom. I understand that Dynpac uses a set of master (retained) degrees of freedom, selected by the user, to extract the Eigen values (periods) and Eigen vectors (mode shapes)…

    Can Dynpac module (to estimate natural period) capture the initial gap of say 50mm incorporated in the model.. any thoughts..? or is it only limited to the static runs. Thanks

    Good day, I am trying to determine the steady state response of a large model loaded by waves and current. Due to the size of the structure and the number of dofs to be considered for dynamic analysis, the number of structural eigenmodes is far…
