SACS

SACS is an integrated finite element structural analysis suite of programs that uniquely provides for the design, fabrication, installation, operations, and maintenance of offshore structures, including oil platforms and wind farms. Thirty-eight years of focus on these specialized requirements have made SACS the analysis mainstay for most of the world s offshore engineers. !irtually all of the world s energy companies specify SACS software for use by their engineering firms across the lifecycle of fi"ed offshore platforms. SACS provides comprehensive lifecycle applications for the analysis and design of new and e"isting fi"ed offshore structures for the oil, gas, and wind energy mar#ets. These include$ %on-linear Analysis for &ffshore 'latform (ailures (atigue )ife *valuation (oundation+Structures, Spars+Topsides
SACS consists of several compatible structural analysis programs which are interfaced to each other to eliminate the requirement, but not the ability, for user interaction with the output of one program before input to another. All programs include a full complement of standard engineering defaults in both *nglish and ,etric units to simplify input.
