SACS is an integrated finite element structural analysis suite of applications that uniquely provides for the structural analysis and design of offshore structures, including oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and topsides of FPSOs and floating platforms. Nearly 40 years of focus on these specialized requirements have made
SACS the analysis mainstay for most of the world’s offshore engineers. Virtually all of the world’s energy companies specify SACS software for use by their engineering firms across the lifecycle of offshore platforms.
