Santanu Das, Bentley vice president, design, simulation, and information
modeling, said, "For more than 40 years, SACS
has been the leading offshore
structural analysis and design software for fixed oil and gas
platforms. Since its acquisition by Bentley in March 2011, SACS
has continued to find broader application, both for conventional oil and
gas platforms and, now, the emerging offshore wind-power market. Ongoing
enhancements to SACS offshore
structural analysis and design software - such as SACS 5.5
capabilities that allow designers of fixed and floating offshore
platforms to analyze wind and wave loads - continue to help drive
further advancements in the creation of intelligent infrastructure for
marine environments that is easier to construct, more efficient and
safer to operate, and consumes less energy."
User successes leveraging Bentley's offshore software advancements are
highlighted by the outstanding project nominations in the 2012 Be
Inspired Awards competition in the new "Innovation in Offshore
Engineering" category. To read about this year's winning and finalist
