Overview

SDC Verifier is an integrated software for structural design, FEA-based verification and standards compliance, enabling automated checks and report generation for engineering projects.

Key capabilities

Structural design checks: bolt, fatigue, buckling and strength verifications.
Standards & code verification: automated validation against 50+ engineering codes.
Design optimization, model import/export and automated reporting workflows.
FEA analysis support and solver interoperability (Nastran-based workflows highlighted).

Main capabilities of SDC Verifier

Loads and combinations: automated load combinations and predefined load types (buoyancy, wind, wave, ballast).
Modelling and meshing: parametric model creation from CAD/FEA inputs and quick mesh adjustments.
Structure optimization: parameter-driven optimization of welds, plate thicknesses and sections.
Automatic reporting: structured reports with model description, results and plots; export to Word, PowerPoint and PDF.

Pre- and Post-processing Tools

Governing loads extraction, Peak Finder for stress/strain/displacement zones and moment & shear force extraction.
Freebody calculations for force/moment balance and extraction of internal/external loads.
Rainflow counting for fatigue cycle matrices and compression-only support modeling.
Additional checks: mass & COG tables, thickness plots, weld summation, effective plate width and stress gradient tools.

Automatic Detection & Element Analysis Tools

Joint & Connections Finder: detect connections for joint checks and buckling lengths.
Beam Member Finder: detect beam members and compute buckling lengths independent of mesh.
Weld Finder: detect welds and transform stresses for fatigue and weld strength checks.
Panel Finder: identify plates, stiffeners and panel geometry for plate buckling calculations.

Additional Benefits

Significant time savings on verification tasks through automation (client-reported reductions up to ~80%).
SDC API for scripting and integration into engineering workflows.
One solution covering modelling, FEA verification and code checking across industries.
