Hull, Jackcase, Spudcan modeled

using beams as dummy with
equivalent stiffness
Simplest & quickest method for

preliminary global analysis
Loads transferred from global

model to local models manually
Local Models can be modeled in

FEMGV & Analyzed in SACS

Jack-up Models for Local Analysis
Hull modeled using plates, shells

& beams
Spud can & jack house modeled

Jack-up Model for Global Analysis-2
Detailed leg & Hull Model can be made in userfriendly GUI

Various plate and shell elements available for
modeling hull
Variety of beam cross-sections available for modeling
leg chords, braces & hull girders & stiffeners
Joints & Members can be easily duplicated making

the leg modelling quick & easy
Member offset feature enables the realistic modelling
and accurate stress calculations

Beam Element Types in SACS
Sample Model of Jack-up in SACS
10 | WWW.BENTLEY.COM
Hull-leg connection can be modeled

as cross of beams
Gap elements in SACS can be used

to
model
leg-hull
connection
correctly.
Member releases used to obtain

force & moment in relevant directions
For eg, for a floating jacking system:

Pinions & guides can be modeled
as compression only gap
elements
Pinion members will transfer only
vertical forces & guides will
transfer only horizontal forces.
This can be achieved by applying
member releases in relevant
directions

Modelling in SACS Hull-Leg Connection
Leg-to-hull connection
Applying Boundary Conditions

Different boundary conditions
applied for different analyses
SACS offer variety of options for
boundary conditions
For example, in elevated
condition, the PINNED fixity can
be used as per SNAME-TR-5A
Spring fixity with translational &
rotational stiffness can also be
used if site-specific soil
properties are to be modeled
accurately

For Transit mode, fixity can be

applied at hull as shown in fig.

Permanent & Variable Loads

Various Joint, Member & Plate Loads Options
Environmental Loads
Wave + Current using Seastate Module

Wind using Seastate Module
Gravity & Buoyancy using Seastate Module
Hydrodynamic Coefficients Cd, Cm
Loads in Transit Condition

Inertia Loads using Tow Module

Wind Loads
Quasi-Static Analysis
Basic static analysis
Static Analysis with gap elements
Here dynamic amplification of wave/current loads are to be accounted for
by applying a horz. inertia load at hull centre
First order P- Effects may be considered in analysis directly
Dynamic Analysis
Wave response module can be used
Stochastic dynamic analysis can be performed (Random Wave)
Various wave energy spectra including PM, JONSWAP etc. or userdefined spectra can be used
Deterministic dynamic analysis can be performed (Extreme Wave)
Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) can be determined for quasi-static
analysis
Transfer functions can be generated for performing spectral fatigue
analysis

Seismic Analysis
To simulate foundation in SACS,

different features are available in
SACS:
Linear spring elements with 3
translational & 3 rotational stiffness
Force -deflection gap elements which
can be used to simulate non-linear
springs to simulate P-Y, T-Z & Q-Z
curves

Punch Through of a Jack-up Rig
The No Load gap element can be used

for loss of support
Analysis can be carried out with a user
specified deflection which will give
redistribution of load on legs & leg-hull
connection for that particular load case
Alternatively, a full elasto-plastic collapse
can be carried out
Define a non-linear spring element
demonstrating a force-deflection curve.
With increase in vertical load at each load
step, the stiffness will vary & at punchthrough condition, sudden loss of stiffness
can be simulated
Another option is to carry out collapse
using specified deflection load case at
each step of punch-through
