What is SDC Verifier?

www.sdcverifier.com3

The goal of SDC Verifier is checking structures according to

standards and report generation.

Load combinations: example from Standard

SDC Verifier implements:

• Individual Loads;

• Load Sets;

• Load Groups.

A lot of loads and

combinations should

be checked according to

standards.

Load combinations: Add/Edit Multiple

www.sdcverifier.com5

Import Load Sets or Load

Groups from MS Excel

Create/edit few Load

combinations at once.

Tools

Panel Finder;

Beam Member Finder;

Complicated Loads: Wind, Buoyancy and Tank Load;

Rule Based Selector.

Panel Finder.

www.sdcverifier.com7

Recognizes all plates with their

dimensions automatically. Plates plot

Searches X, Y and Z sections.

Frames

Beam Member Finder.

www.sdcverifier.com8

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

Types of Joints

Beam Length Plot

User can modify joints manually or even define own (user) joints.

Wind and Buoyancy Loads

www.sdcverifier.com9

Buoyancy (water level calculation)

Pressure (depend on height) Water pressure including wave parameters.

Wind

Tank Ballast Load

Accelerations on tank content

included

local waterline

Applied force

Always Up to date

Rule Types:

- Materials;

- Properties;

- Groups;

- Coordinate;

- Element Types;

- Element Shapes.

Checks

www.sdcverifier.com12

Fatigue check according to different methods and

standards ;

Plate Buckling according to ABS and DNV standards;

Custom Checks.

Fatigue Check with mean stress correction

www.sdcverifier.com13

For single stresses

Fatigue Allowable Stress Design (Goodman relation)

Combined

Maximum Fatigue Damage

Allowable Stress depends on classification

Element Group 6 more

than 2 millions cycles

K4 welds example

Used by standards as DIN 15018, FEM 1.001, FKM

Fatigue Example

www.sdcverifier.com14

Allowable Stress vs Kappa Weld class K3 Weld class K0

Pylon Utilization Factor (Smax/Sallow)Notch group

Plate Buckling Check (ABS, DNV)

www.sdcverifier.com15

No FEM buckling but stress based

(for full ship +1000 buckling modes)

Results over sections. Values

which do not pass the check

are highlighted in red.

Automatically convert element

stresses into plate direction.

SDC Verifier is customizable

www.sdcverifier.com17

If check is missing use custom check

Simple example 1: Static Stress Check

www.sdcverifier.com18

Equivalent Stress

Utilization Factor

Sallow = Max (Yield, 0.7 * Tensile)

Utilization Factor = Stress / Sallow

Example 2: AISC Buckling Check
