SDC Verifier (Structural Design Codes Verifier) is a commercial finite element analysis post-processor software with a calculation core for checking structures according to different standards, either predefined or self programmed, and final report generation with all checks. The goal is to automate routine work and speed up a verification of the engineering projects. It works as an addon for popular FEA software Ansys,[1] Femap and Simcenter 3D.[2]
It is possible to apply complicated loads: buoyancy, tank ballast and wind. Automatic recognition of joints, welds and panels.
Implemented Standards
[edit]The rules for popular design standards are predefined in SDC Verifier.[3] The open structure of the standard makes all checks customizable. The Custom standard can be saved and used for other models, password protected and added to the custom library. This standard can be shared between other users.
