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.

Import Load Sets or Load
Groups from MS Excel
Create/edit few Load

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
www.sdcverifier.com10
Accelerations on tank content
included
Tank Load
Global and
local waterline
Applied force
and volume
Height along vertical axis
Rule based Selector

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
