Reduce Risk
Reduce risk of failure for offshore structure foundations with nonlinear soil/pile interaction analysis.
WHAT IS SACS Pile Structure Design?
SACS Pile Structure Design is a pile structure interaction design software for nonlinear analysis of soil, pile, and structure interactions to reduce the risk of fatigue on offshore structures.
Automate Workflows
Automated workflows simplify the management of large and complex models, which encourage the team to explore more collapse scenarios. Customizable templates within a common structural model make it easier to manage multiple analyses.
Increase Safety
Assess the capacity of the soil on which you are building to withstand extreme structural loads. Model behavior for axial, lateral, and torsional loads at the pilehead with nonlinear load deflection curves. In seismic zones, account for reduced soil capacity due to liquefaction.
Display Results Graphically
Automatically generate foundation super elements, making it easy to create designs for dynamic analysis. Super elements provide the ability to quickly linearize piled foundations, then model the effect of displacements and rotations with a fully coupled 6×6 matrix for each pile group.

One-year license with training
Virtuoso Subscription – A popular choice for small and medium-sized businesses
Get access to software that comes with training – fast! Bentley’s eStore, Virtuosity, offers a convenient way to lease a 12-month license of Bentley software for a low, upfront cost. Every online purchase through Virtuosity comes as a Virtuoso Subscription that includes training and auto-renewals.
With no contract required, it’s easy to get started quickly..
One-time purchase with support
Perpetual License with SELECT
A perpetual license of Bentley software is a one-time purchase, with a yearly maintenance subscription, called SELECT. This includes 24/7/365 technical support, learning resources, and the ability to exchange licenses for other software once a year. With SELECT, you will benefit from:
- License pooling, so you can access your software from multiple computers.
- Access additional Bentley software with Term Licenses, which allow you to pay for what you use without the upfront cost of purchasing a perpetual license.
Annual renewal quotes are delivered directly to your inbox, and our experienced Renewal Representatives are available to answer your questions and guide you through any changes you’d like to make.
