  • SACS Offshore Structure
  • What is SACS Offshore Structure?

    SACS Offshore Structure Advanced is offshore structural analysis software that helps you optimize design to ensure compliance, understand behavior, and accurately predict performance of all types of offshore structures.

    Analyze Offshore Structures

    Conduct comprehensive analyses – including full nonlinear, dynamic, and impact effects – to predict how your platform or topside structure will behave under a host of conditions. Model pile-soil interactions and apply wind, wave, seismic, ship impact, dropped object, and blast loads for a full range of likely effects.

    Automate Your Workflows

    Customizable templates within a common structural model make it easier to manage multiple analyses. Automatically pass data from one analysis step to another using industry-standard methodologies. Automated workflows simplify the management of large and complex models, which encourages your team to explore more design options.

    Ensure Code Compliance

    Built-in checking provides assurance that your designs comply with offshore international codes, including API, AISC, EC, ISO, DNV, and Norsok. The software enables you to filter for critical conditions and provide compliance documentation.

  • SACS Offshore Structure Ultimate
  • What is SACS Offshore Structure Ultimate?

    SACS Offshore Structure Ultimate is the most comprehensive software for offshore structural analysis. It includes everything that is in SACS Offshore Structure Advanced plus wave-loading capabilities for static structural and topside analysis. This allows you to easily create fit-for-purpose jackets, wharfs, dolphin structures, and more.

    Add-on Modules

    The following modules are also available to add on to the SACS Offshore Structure Ultimate package:

    • Pile Structure Design: For analysis of soil, pile, and structure interaction
    • Collapse and Collapse Advanced: Advanced plastic nonlinear analysis
    • Fatigue Ultimate: Analysis of static and dynamic linear systems subject to wind, wave, and seismic loads for fatigue damage and structural code checks.
    • OpenWindPower Fixed Foundation: Complete package containing Offshore Structure Ultimate, Pile Structure Design, Collapse, and Fatigue Ultimate
