 Assignment #1!
 SACS is an integrated suite of software that
supports the analysis, design and fabrication of
offshore structures, including oil, gas, and
wind farm platforms and topsides
 Created by Bentley (acquired Engineering
Dynamics, Inc)

 Widely used in oil and gas industry

 Similar app: STAADPro, SESAM, SAP

 All Analysis
 Pre-service (load out, transportation, lifting, upending)
 Service ( inplace, fatigue, seismic, pushover)
 Incident( boat impact, stability, vessel)
 Finite element analysis
 Complete standard, code, references, and theory
 GUI and result reporting

 SACS limitations? I didn’t found yet 

 Build jacket structure with structure definition!

 NIM 155120xy
 x = number of leg (+- to 1,3,4,6,8)
 y = number of conductor
 |x-y| = number of riser (use reference!)
 Boatlanding:
 If x odd number, create 1 boatlanding
 If x even number, create 2 boatlandings
 Batter:
 If y odd number, use 800 batter legs
 If y even number, use 750 batter legs
