Product overview

SDC plugin providing automated structural verification inside Simcenter 3D for strength, fatigue, buckling, weld and bolt checks.
Operates directly on native .fem models—no model rebuilds or exports required.
Built on the SDC Verifier platform with comparable extensions for other FEA environments.

Key features

Automated code checks implementing 50+ international engineering standards.
Automatic recognition of structural elements: welds, joints, beams, plates and stiffeners.
Built-in load applicators: tank, buoyancy, wind, wave and current loads; supports combined load cases.
End-to-end workflow inside Simcenter 3D—no tool switching or separate preprocessing.
Template-driven reporting with plots, tables and full check summaries; reports regenerate instantly after model updates.
Optimization workflows driven by code results to refine thickness, cross-sections, weld types and material choices.

What you can achieve

Validate strength, fatigue, buckling, welds and bolts under realistic, combined load cases.
Replace manual spreadsheets and custom scripts with automated, auditable checks.
Accelerate reporting and design iterations through repeatable, template-based workflows.
Support certification and project audits in offshore, marine, civil and heavy equipment applications.

Engineering standards (examples)

Pre/post-processing & toolkit highlights

Peak Finder: locate and summarise peak zones from results and SDC checks (stress, strain, displacement, fatigue, buckling).
Freebody: compute balanced forces and moments for substructures; extract internal/external loads for submodeling and connector forces.
Moment & Shear Force: integrate grid‑point forces into longitudinal diagrams and export plots/tables for audits.
Rainflow counting: convert time histories to cycle matrices with peak–valley filtering and multiple counting methods.
Compression‑only supports: model one‑way restraints and iterate load sets for stable checks.

Deployment & workflow

Quick installation as an internal Simcenter 3D plugin—no separate import/export steps.
Recognition tools automate element classification and prepare model data for verification and reporting.
Automated templates and report generator produce audit-ready documents with plots, tables and check summaries.
Optimization module integrates with code-check results to reduce iterations and material use while meeting design requirements.
