SDC Verifier Main Presentation

This document describes the Structural Design Code Verifier software. It provides quick support for users through various methods. The goal of SDC Verifier is to check structures according to engineering standards and generate reports. It implements loads, load combinations, and tools to apply complicated loads like wind and tank loads. SDC Verifier performs checks such as fatigue, buckling, and custom checks according to standards. It allows customizable reporting through report wizards and designers. The software can be used as a template to reuse calculations on new models and generate consistent reports.

What is SDC Verifier?

The goal of SDC Verifier is checking structures according to


standards and report generation.
3

www.sdcverifier.com

3 Load Groups

18 Load Sets

19 Individual loads

Load combinations: example from Standard

www.sdcverifier.com

A lot of loads and


combinations should
be checked according to
standards.

SDC Verifier implements:


Individual Loads;
Load Sets;
Load Groups.

Load combinations: Add/Edit Multiple


Create/edit few Load
combinations at once.

Import Load Sets or Load


Groups from MS Excel

www.sdcverifier.com

Tools

Panel Finder;

Beam Member Finder;

Complicated Loads: Wind, Buoyancy and Tank Load;

Rule Based Selector.

www.sdcverifier.com

Panel Finder.
Searches X, Y and Z sections.

Frames

Recognizes all plates with their


dimensions automatically.

Beam Member Finder.


Helps to define beam length. Can be used in Beam Buckling Check and custom checks.

Checks

Fatigue check according to different methods and


standards ;

Plate Buckling according to ABS and DNV standards;

Custom Checks.

12

www.sdcverifier.com

Fatigue Check with mean stress correction


Used by standards as DIN 15018, FEM 1.001, FKM
Fatigue Allowable Stress Design (Goodman relation)

Allowable Stress depends on classification

For single stresses


Element Group 6 more
than 2 millions cycles
Combined

K4 welds example
Maximum Fatigue Damage

www.sdcverifier.com

Fatigue Example

Notch group

Allowable Stress vs Kappa


14

Pylon Utilization Factor (Smax/Sallow)

Weld class K3
www.sdcverifier.com

Weld class K0

Plate Buckling Check (ABS, DNV)


No FEM buckling but stress based
(for full ship +1000 buckling modes)

Automatically convert element


stresses into plate direction.

Results over sections.Values


which do not pass the check
are highlighted in red.

15

www.sdcverifier.com

SDC Verifier is customizable

If check is missing use custom check


17

www.sdcverifier.com

Simple example 1: Static Stress Check

Equivalent Stress

Sallow = Max (Yield, 0.7 * Tensile)


Utilization Factor = Stress / Sallow
Utilization Factor
