SACS Joint Mesher

Are you concerned about the integrity of the joints of your fixed or floating facilities? A simple tubular joint may be handled using established empirical relationships prescribed in the codes. A pure non-tubular or tubular to non-tubular or a stiffened complex joint either requires a rigorous closed formed solution or additional FEM analysis using industry standard Finite Element software. Well, it is no longer a necessity with SACS Joint Mesher capability in hand!

This online comprehensive training takes you through the step-by-step methodology of using SACS Joint Mesher capability to model any type of joint geometry in FEM domain within the normal facility design space. The capability can be extended to model lifting appliances, e.g., padeyes, trunions and any other complex connections like skirt piles or crane/equipment to the main structure.

The joint mesher capability may also be used to extract stress concentration factors [SCF] of any non-conventional and stiffened joints generally required for further fatigue check.
