Abstract

The cumbersome task of verifying structural design according to numerous standards has always been a challenge. Engineers have found themselves buried under mountains of manuals, struggling with manual calculations, or juggling multiple software programs to model and verify compliance. Recognizing the engineers' pain points, SDC Verifier explored the complexities of industry standards and created a solution to simplify the design process. Through tireless dedication and relentless innovation, engineers found that they were able to conduct standards verification directly within Ansys Mechanical, Simcenter 3D, and Femap using SDC Verifier software.

Transforming the way engineers approach standards verification has not stopped there. The software continues to expand the library of standards, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of industry advancements. Each FEA (finite element analysis) model can be automatically verified against numerous prebuilt codes and industry standards. For this reason, it is useful to have an open API (application programming interface) and a formula editor so that engineers can see all the steps involved in calculating the relevant standard, edit ready-made standards in national annexes, or create a control according to their own rules. Further facts and features are presented in this article, proving how this solution is really valuable to provide engineers and designers with the tools they need to bring their visions to life.
