SDC Verifier

𝗦𝗗𝗖 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿 brings 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 for offshore, marine, lifting, and structural steel projects!🤩

The new standards help engineers:
🔹 Verify tubular connections and plate buckling
🔹 Cover more steel member geometries
🔹 Verify flat and curved plates in the same model

For engineers working with FE models in these industries, this means more 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 in SDC Verifier.🚀

When a model contains hundreds or thousands of welds, checking them one by one can quickly become a bottleneck.

And the problem isn’t only the time it takes. Manual weld checks can also mean:
🔹 Missing welds or connections
🔹 Repeating the same checks again and again
🔹 Higher risk of human error
🔹 Difficulty keeping verification consistent across the model

But with the 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 tool in 𝗦𝗗𝗖 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿, you can quickly and automatically find welds in your FE model and check them against the required standards.

For defense structures, the answer is not always as simple as looking at a stress contour.

Impact, emergency manoeuvres, transient acceleration, asymmetric loading, and other non-standard scenarios can make structural verification much more complex.

Preparing the model. Setting up checks. Managing load combinations. Reviewing results. Creating reports.

And when the model changes, you may have to repeat much of this work again.

All these repetitive tasks add up to a significant amount of engineering time.

𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟮 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 until our webinar on efficient FEA analysis of large-scale maritime assets! ⚓

Ships, FPSOs, and tankers often involve millions of elements and complex verification requirements. Managing model preparation, loads, and structural checks manually can take significant engineering time.

On 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟲, SDC Verifier’s Structural Engineer, Michał Oleksy, will share practical approaches to making this process more efficient.
📅 𝟭𝟲:𝟬𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗧

From geometry and load application to structural verification and reporting, we’ll look at how automation can support the analysis of large-scale maritime structures.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀? 👷🏻‍♂️

As an asset ages, its structural verification may need to account for:
🔹 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 accumulated over millions of cycles
🔹 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 reducing effective thickness
🔹 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in critical details
🔹 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and changes in load paths
🔹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
🔹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 since the original design

For an existing structure, the key question changes from “𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺?” to “𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?”.

That’s why the maintenance of aging structures requires more than relying on original design data. The actual condition, dimensions, and operating parameters may need to be inspected and assessed to determine the structure’s current capacity.

At 𝗦𝗗𝗖 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿, we provide on-site measurements, structural inspections, and FEM-based assessment to evaluate existing structures and identify critical areas that may limit their remaining service life.

For example, one 𝟯𝟬-𝗰𝗺 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 was found under a double ceiling, so it was not spotted during the regular inspections, but after our evaluation and calculation report, a huge crack propagating in this area was found.
