Structural Design Code Verifier Version 3.0
What is SDC Verifier? The goal of SDC Verifier is checking structures according to standards and report generation. 2
SDC Verifier Embedded into Femap 3
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 4
Tools Panel Finder; Beam Member Finder; Complicated Load: Wind and Hydroload; Rule Based Selector; 5
Panel finder Model recognition Frames Longitudinals Example Frame 36 Decks 6
Plate finder in section Plate Buckling Results Recognize plates and determine dimensions Use dimensions for buckling check Table with results 7
Beam member finder Model recognition Beam member tool Determines (buckling) length for both element directions Apply member checks (based on length) Beams are connected with joints 3d joints limit length in both directions 2d joints limit length in 1 direction 1d joints for recognition i.e. weld classification Beam-plate joints (for stiffeners) User defined 8
Beam member finder Joint finder Automatically recognize type of joints; Recognize 2D Y and 2D Z joints; Colored plots; Easy to edit. 9
Beam member finder Member lengths and buckling check Buckling check Beam members Length of beam members 10
Tools. Complicated loads Wind Hydroload Water level calculation Accelerations on tank content included Pressure (depend on height) Hull pressure 11
Rule based Selector Rule Types: - Materials; - Properties; - Groups; - Coordinate; - Element Types; - Element Shapes; Operations: - Add; - Remove; - Exclude; - Reselect. Always Up to date Coordinate Rule Element Types Rule 12
Checks Fatigue check according to different methods and standards Plate Buckling according to ABS and DNV standards; Custom Checks; Moment Shear Force Check; 13
Example: Fatigue Check with mean stress correction Used by standards as DIN 15018, FEM 1.001, DASt-011, BS7608, AISC LRFD, etc Fatigue Allowable Stress Design (Goodman relation) Allowable Stress depends on classification For single stresses Combined Element Group 6 more than 2 millions cycles K4 welds example Maximum Fatigue Damage 14
Fatigue Example Notch group Pylon Utilization Factor (Smax/Sallow) Allowable Stress vs Kappa Weld class K3 Weld class K0 15
Plate Buckling Check (ABS, DNV) No FEM buckling but stress based (for full ship +1000 buckling modes) Calculation methods: Complete Structure Estimate user define standard panel dimension for selection. Element orientation must be x=length y=width; Single Panel each panel is defined. Dimensions are calculated (check by user). Stresses are translated into panel direction. 16
Plate Buckling Example Maximum plate dimensions 700x2450 Maximum plate dimensions 700x1200 Plots and model IHC Dredgers B.V. OK with plate dimensions 700x1200 17
SDC Verifier is customizable If check is missing use custom check 18
Simple example 1: Static Stress Check Equivalent Stress Sallow = Max (Yield, 0.7 * Tensile) Utilization Factor = Stress / Sallow Utilization Factor 19
Example 2: AISC Buckling Check 20
Moment and Shear Force Check At section Shear Force Moment 21
