What's New in SACS 5.1 updates:

Data Generator Module Version 5.1.02 

1. Enhanced the program so that when inserting a plate group line PGRUP, the program does not add a stiffener location unless a stiffener section has been specified
   
2. The FTCASE lines in the insert line section have been rearranged to reflect 1. Deterministic Fatigue Case, 2. Wind Fatigue Case and 3. Spectral Fatigue Case.
   
3. The FTCASE line for deterministic analyses has been enhanced to include the wave height which is required when interpolating damage. The help on the number of occurrences has also been expanded.
   
4. Corrected Sacs to Wamit input units for weight on Weight line for metric KN unit set so that units are labeled as KN.
   
5. Fixed problem where program was terminating when trying to perform a back-up save on a new blank file opened using File/New when another file was already open.
   
6. Corrected problem where data was placed out of sequence when block copying large amounts of data at the end of the file by highlighting, copying then pasting.
   
7. Added the 'R' option in column 20 on the Hydro line which includes hydro-check in the member detail and summary and subtracts the axial force from the Euler buckling term.
   
8. Fixed problem where program was terminating when blocking large amounts of data (at least 80 lines) by holding the CTRL-Down arrow key until 80 lines were blocked (filled up the buffer) then hit cut.
   
9. Added support for STCMB line for a spectral wind analysis in Dynamic Response.
   
10. Included the PGRDEL and PLTDEL lines for Launch analysis which allows plate groups and plates to be removed, respectively.
    
11. Updated Engine Vibration automatic file generation procedure to prompt the user if more unbalanced loads are to be input before another running speed is defined.
    
12. Added the capability to add more LDFAC lines for gas torque input for engine vibration analyses.
