    • Improve the design, analysis, safety, and reliability of offshore structures

    SACS Offshore Structure is a package of integrated finite element structural analysis applications that facilitate the design of all types of offshore structures—oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and topsides of FPSOs and floating platforms.

    Offshore engineers around the world use SACS Offshore Structure Ultimate to predict the behavior of offshore structures, automate workflows, and ensure compliance with offshore design codes.

    Analyze offshore structures under a variety of conditions

    Conduct comprehensive analyses—including full non-linear, 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. You can automatically pass data from one analysis step to another using industry-standard methodologies. These automated workflows simplify managing large and complex models, which encourages your team to explore more design options.

    SACS Offshore Structural Ensure compliance to offshore design codes

    Automatically ensure compliance

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