Engineering Dynamics, Inc. has developed the SACS system of software for both offshore
structures and general civil engineering applications. 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 English and Metric
units to simplify input. The relationships among the programs comprising the system are
schematically illustrated in the flow diagram below. All structural data: geometry, member
dimensions, material properties and environmental conditions are generated by the input generating programs and reside in the common input file. The solution programs operate on this data
and produce the common solution file which contains joint displacements and element internal
forces. The post processing programs, using this information, evaluate the performance of the
structure with respect to any of several structural codes. Any structure not satisfying the code
may be automatically redesigned. Additionally, plots of the structural geometry, deformed
shapes and code checking information are available. Finally, complete dimensioned structural
drawings, bills of materials and lofting data are automatically produced.
Analysis Packages
The SACS system is available for the PC environment using Windows NT/2000/XP. The
system is modular and may be purchased or leased monthly as a complete package, as bundles
or as individual modules. The following prices apply to a single user system which allows
execution only on the machine to which the security key is attached.

3D SAT file format compatible with AutoCAD,
CADKey, TurboCAD Professional and other
Acis enabled CAD packages.
Supports full 3D geometry and section
properties.
Allows SACS model files to be ported directly
to a PDMS macro file which creates the 3D
model in PDMS.
Supports PDMS section libraries in addition to creating PDMS
sections for sections defined in the SACS model.
Worldwide Support
Engineering Dynamics, Inc. has developed and marketed on a worldwide basis the proprietary SACS
programs since 1973. The programs have been used by over 300 companies to design over 1000 offshore
platforms from the North Sea to the coast of Australia. The programs are completely supported and
maintained by EDI with the main support locations listed below.
