The Comprehensive Structural Design and Verification Solution for FEA Professionals

Structural verification in compliance with a reference standard is a fundamental aspect for the structural engineer. SDC Verifier is an all-in-one software that empowers engineers to streamline structural design, FEA analysis, and standard-compliant verification.

SDC Verifier technology allows you to perform an in-depth study on the load-bearing structures of large assemblies, modeled with Beam, Shell and Solid elements. In addition, it is capable to recognize automatically joints and welds in order to properly performs rule checks.

SDC Verifier Core Features

  • Modern FEA Interface: Intuitive design and modeling experience.
  • Efficient Modeling: Parametric modeling for rapid design iterations. Detailed explanation: Create models using basic input parameters and modify them easily, speeding up the design process.
  • Loads and Combinations: Automated load handling and combination calculations for various scenarios. Detailed explanation: Set up combinations of design loads (wind, buoyancy, wave, etc.) relevant to your industry, ensuring the structure meets all safety requirements.
  • Automatic Recognition: Instantly identify structural elements for code checks. Detailed explanation: The software automatically finds and classifies beams, plates, welds, and joints, saving time on manual identification.
  • Checks According to Standards: Verify designs against 35+ global standards with the option to use custom criteria. Detailed explanation: Rest assured your designs are compliant with industry-specific codes like AISC, Eurocode, and more.
  • Post-processing Tools: Identify critical loads, stress peaks, and reaction forces. Detailed explanation: Analyze simulation results to pinpoint potential weaknesses and optimize your design accordingly.
  • Design Optimization: Minimize material usage and costs. Detailed Explanation: The software suggests ideal plate thicknesses, beam profiles, etc., to make the structure efficient without sacrificing strength.
  • Automatic Reporting: Generate comprehensive, customizable reports. Detailed explanation: Quickly create professional reports detailing model setup, results, and compliance findings, saving time on documentation.

SDC Verifier allows you to carry out structural checks in compliance with the following Standards:
