2 SDC Verifier Embedded 2 Separate GUI

3 What is SDC Verifier? The goal of SDC Verifier is checking structures according to standards and report generation. 5

4 Load combinations: Advanced calculation structure according to standard logic: Individual Load = single load result Load Set = combination of loads Load Group = envelope of set of results 7

5 Load combinations: Add/Edit Multiple Create/edit few Load combinations at once. Import Load Sets or Load Groups from MS Excel 10

6 Find determining load cases 11

7 Tools Recognition tools Section, Plate, Panel and stiffener Finder Beam Member Finder / Joint check Weld recognition Complicated Loads: Wind, Buoyancy and Tank Load Rule Based Selector 12

8 Wind/Current and Buoyancy Loads Wind Buoyancy (water level calculation) Pressure (depend on height) Water pressure including wave parameters. 13

9 Tank Ballast Load Tank Load Global and local waterline Accelerations on tank content included Applied force and volume Height along vertical axis 14

10 Coupled to client ballast load file 15

11 Tools: Moment and Shear Force Check At fuselage section At wing section Shear Force Moment

12 Sections Model recognition Frames Longitudinals Example Frame 36 Decks 19

13 Plates Model recognition 20

14 Panel and stiffeners Model recognition

15 Beam member finder Joint finder Beam length determination (2 directions) 24

16 Weld finder. Recognizes all welds and updates stresses in weld direction Crossing welds 26

17 Checks and standards Checks are open and formula s are added to report 27

18 SDC Verifier is customizable If check is missing use custom check 28

19 Beam like construction checks Joints Members Recognition FEA model 29

20 Member results 30

21 Tubular Joint Check Recognize Joint Type (based on Forces) Recognize Brace, Chord and Gap 31

22 (API RP 2A 21st) Joint check 32

23 Joint results 33

24 According to DNV or ABS Plate Buckling Results Recognize plates and determine dimensions Use dimensions for buckling check Table with results 34

25 Stiffener check Effective width depend on plate stresses (=buckling state) 35

26 Stiffener check Plate buckling state influence Plate buckling state Effective width 36

27 Stiffener check Plot in detail Summarize per section 37

28 Weld check

29 FAT class example 39

30 Weld finder. Recognizes all welds and updates weld direction automatically. Fatigue check on single weld 40 Fatigue check EN13001

31 Fatigue load cycle groups Make more load cycle groups 41

32 Joint recognition set FAT classes 42

33 Beam based fatigue check 43

34 Detailed Fatigue check 44

35 Custom check example 45

36 Completely custom report Standard reports; Report Wizard: Quick selection method for report generation. Report Designer: Completely customizable method for fine tuning report including extra text, summary etc. 47

37 Completely custom report Report Wizard; Report Designer. Report Wizard easy step by step report Report Designer previewer. Advanced report 48

38 Report Generation in Wizard First Page Tables Model Setup Plots Job Settings Checks Generated Report 49

39 Model Setup Report Fem Load and Constraint Description General information Property Table 50

40 Report Results Result Plots Checks Result Tables 51

41 Tables Displacement on nodes. Absolute maximum highlighted Worst Stresses among loads Extreme values over selections (properties) Sum of applied forces on loads Extreme Stresses over directions Extreme Location 52

42 Histogram and Expand Graph Histogram extreme results over loads Expand Graph node/element results over loads 53

43 Plots Same plot different Views Same plot different Components 54

44 Report Generation in Designer Print and Preview without Word Export To Word Toolbox with all project items Regenerate part of report Edit properties with context menu easily Move items (Drag and Drop) Edit Item Properties Extra Items 55

45 Frame check Results for each frame Table with overview all frames Same output for: 87 frames 12 decks 22 longitudinals 56

46 Open as template First model (template) New Model Two models. Same report 57

47 Detailed modeling in global model NB Selection tool enables switching between detailed or beam representation 59

48 Model SACS to FEMAP/SDC Verifier 62

49 Use recognition 63

50 Re-use of calculation process Set in SDC Verifier file: full calculation settings Apply all loads, load combinations and load groups All checks (according to your standard) Necessary calculation documents Re-use.sdcv file as template with all above settings 64
