Design for safety

SACS Fatigue

Evaluate fatigue life of offshore structures with SACS Fatigue. Minimize risk of failure from cyclic loads with a broad range of offshore-specific fatigue analyses, including wind, wave, spectral, time history, and deterministic. Ensure compliance by applying automated, fully inclusive, interactive fatigue design and analysis. Save time with data sharing through the software’s full integration with SACS Offshore Structure.
SACS Fatigue helps you reduce risk by performing fatigue damage assessment for new designs or existing designs. Choose the version that fits your project needs.
• Fatigue – Fatigue – Efficiently achieve design code compliance with offshore-specific calculations for complex, variable stress concentration factors

SACS Fatigue Capabilities
Assess dynamic response with spectral and time history analysis
Determine fatigue life through full non-linear soil and structural analysis, and dynamic spectral/time history fatigue analysis. Perform spectral wind fatigue calculations including gust effects and spatial correlation. Determine fatigue damage due to wave action over time.
Automate offshore structural workflows
Manage multiple analyses with customizable templates working from a common structural model. Automatically pass data from one analysis step to another, incorporating industry-standard methodologies. Simplify management of large, complex models for design exploration with automated workflows.
Calculate fatigue life
Comply with offshore design codes by calculating complex variable stress concentration factors using automated joint meshing or predefined industry SCF rules. Assess wind and wave fatigue using standard or user-defined S-N curves.
Redesign structures with fatigue data
Optimize tubular joint fatigue life using interactive redesign of any joint by variation of structural data and fatigue parameters. Take into account time-history analysis during joint fatigue redesign.
