SACS
SACS supports offshore structural analysis and design for fixed platforms and marine structures.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Model an offshore structure
Begin with the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended SACS preview, model an offshore structure; the visible result is a hull or system model with principal dimensions and compartments visible. Review coordinate system, displacement, openings and watertight intent before accepting or exporting it.
Apply environmental loading
Use the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended SACS preview, apply environmental loading; the visible result is hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or structural results tied to the vessel state. Review criteria, headings, periods, load transfer and solver validity before accepting or exporting it.
Review code checks and fatigue
Start from the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended SACS preview, review code checks and fatigue; the visible result is a traceable performance, production or stability package. Review margins, units, condition identity and naval-architecture judgement before accepting or exporting it.
