Define properties of leg members:
We can set up the User Defined Units as
English Units for tubular member diameters
and wall thickness.
On the Precede toolbar select
Property>Member Group. The
Member Group Manage Window will show

The Undefined Group window shows all
group IDs which are assigned to members,
but their properties have not been defined.
The IDs will be moved to Defined Groups Window after properties are defined.
Click LG1 from Undefined Groups window and then click on Add Tab to define the section
and material properties of LG1.This group is segmented and the data can be found in Drawing

Segment 1: D =48.5in, T = 1.75in, Fy = 34.50 kN/cm2, Segment Length = 1.0 m
Segment 2: D =47.0in, T = 1.0in , Fy = 24.80 kN/cm2
Segment 3: D = 48.5in, T = 1.75in, Fy = 34.50 kN/cm2, Segment Length = 1.0 m
Member is flooded
The unit of each input filed can be modified to use available data. In the pictures below the unit
of Outside Diameter and Thickness are changed to English (in). The segment length will be
designed later. See the pictures below for the details of the LG1 group data input.

wave response analysis
Live weight factor in weight combination MASS shall be modified from 0.75 to 1.0.
2) Modifying Seastate file SEAINP.STA for create foundation superelement suitable for
wave response analysis
Delete load conditions GRVX and GRVY;
Add two new load conditions named as X000 and Y090, wave loads will be generated for
1.5 m wave height at 4.42 sec wave period for both 000 and 090 directions respectively.
Stream function will be used for calculating wave force in 18 steps, maximum base shear
will be selected for critical position. Weight selection lines INCWGT used to select
weight groups ANOD and WKWY for possible wave forces.
Delete load combination EQKS. Combine load combinations SUPX and SUPY with
X000 and Y090 correspondingly.
Modify LCSEL line to only include SUPX and SUPY load combinations.

In one collapse pushover analysis clients can define more than one load sequence in one collapse
analysis input file to include environmental loads from different directions. However only the
results
from the last load sequence defined in the input file is saved in clprst file for collapse view
program.
In this demo pushover analysis it only includes extreme storm loads from one direction, 0
degree.
The unit of the collapse input file:
There is no place to define the unit for the collapse input file. The program will use the same unit
as
whatever defined in the structural model file.
Collapse options:
Member segments 8 is chosen along with 80 iterations allowed for both load increment and
member iterations;
Member local buckling check with API Bulletin LRFD method is included;
SACS System Training 2011
Pushover Analysis - 3
Joint flexibility with JF option and joint strength check with API LRFD option is included;
Pile plasticity is selected in the analysis;
The maximum deflection = 500 cm is used as the collapse criterion.
Strain hardening ratio of .005 is selected.
Collapse analysis report selections:
Joint deflections will be printed out in the listing file for each load increment by selecting P1
Joint strengths will be printed out for each load increment by selecting J1;
Member stresses will be printed out for each load increment by selecting M1;
Collapse and member summary report will be included in the output listing file by selecting
SM
and MS.
Define load sequence:
One Load sequence AAAA is defined to apply vertical loads first, and then apply ship impact
loads by increments;
Combined load case GRAV will be applied on the structure in 1 load increment;
Load case S000 will be applied on the structure 1) in 2 load steps from load factors of 0 to 1.00;
2) in 50 steps for load factors from 1.02 to 2.02.
In this demo pushover analysis the jacket structure and piles behaviors are to be investigated for
environmental loads exceed the design extreme storm loads, deck members are to be defined as
Elastic members during the analysis. Elastic member groups can be defined using GRPELA line
for
member groups W01, W02, DL6, DL7, DUM, and W.B.
Collapse input files defined shall look like following:
