What is SDC Verifier?
The goal of SDC Verifier is checking structures according to
standards and report generation.
3
www.sdcverifier.com
3 Load Groups
18 Load Sets
19 Individual loads
Load combinations: example from Standard
www.sdcverifier.com
A lot of loads and
combinations should
be checked according to
standards.
SDC Verifier implements:
Individual Loads;
Load Sets;
Load Groups.
Load combinations: Add/Edit Multiple
Create/edit few Load
combinations at once.
Import Load Sets or Load
Groups from MS Excel
www.sdcverifier.com
Tools
Panel Finder;
Beam Member Finder;
Complicated Loads: Wind, Buoyancy and Tank Load;
Rule Based Selector.
www.sdcverifier.com
Panel Finder.
Searches X, Y and Z sections.
Frames
Recognizes all plates with their
dimensions automatically.

Beam Member Finder.
Helps to define beam length. Can be used in Beam Buckling Check and custom checks.
Beam Length Plot
User can modify joints manually or even define own (user) joints.

Checks
Fatigue check according to different methods and
standards ;
Plate Buckling according to ABS and DNV standards;
Custom Checks.
12
www.sdcverifier.com
Fatigue Check with mean stress correction
Used by standards as DIN 15018, FEM 1.001, FKM
Fatigue Allowable Stress Design (Goodman relation)
Allowable Stress depends on classification
For single stresses
Element Group 6 more
than 2 millions cycles
Combined
K4 welds example
Maximum Fatigue Damage

Fatigue Example
Notch group
Allowable Stress vs Kappa
14
Pylon Utilization Factor (Smax/Sallow)
Weld class K3
www.sdcverifier.com
Weld class K0
Plate Buckling Check (ABS, DNV)
No FEM buckling but stress based
(for full ship +1000 buckling modes)
Automatically convert element
stresses into plate direction.
Results over sections.Values
which do not pass the check
are highlighted in red.
15

SDC Verifier is customizable
If check is missing use custom check
17
www.sdcverifier.com
Simple example 1: Static Stress Check
Equivalent Stress
Sallow = Max (Yield, 0.7 * Tensile)
Utilization Factor = Stress / Sallow
Utilization Factor
