What is SDC Verifier?

www.sdcverifier.com 3

The goal of SDC Verifier is checking structures according to

standards and report generation.

Load combinations: example from Standard

SDC Verifier implements:

• Individual Loads;

• Load Sets;

• Load Groups;

A lot of loads and

combinations should

be checked according to

standards.

Checks

www.sdcverifier.com 10

Fatigue check according to different methods and

standards

Plate Buckling according to ABS and DNV standards;

Custom Checks;

Moment Shear Force Check;

Example: Fatigue Check with mean stress

correction

www.sdcverifier.com 11

For single stresses

Fatigue Allowable Stress Design (Goodman relation)

Combined

Maximum Fatigue Damage

Allowable Stress depends on classification

Element Group 6 more

than 2 millions cycles

K4 welds example

Used by standards as DIN 15018, FEM 1.001, DASt-011, BS7608, AISC LRFD, etc

Fatigue Example

Allowable Stress vs Kappa Weld class K3 Weld class K0

Pylon Utilization Factor (Smax/Sallow)

Notch group

Plate Buckling Check (ABS, DNV)

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.

No FEM buckling but stress based

(for full ship +1000 buckling modes)

Plate Buckling Example

www.sdcverifier.com 14

OK with plate dimensions 700x1200 Plots and model IHC Dredgers B.V.

Maximum plate dimensions 700x2450 Maximum plate dimensions 700x1200

SDC Verifier is customizable

www.sdcverifier.com 15

If check is missing use custom check

Simple example 1: Static Stress Check

www.sdcverifier.com 16

Equivalent Stress

Utilization Factor

Sallow = Max (Yield, 0.7 * Tensile)

Utilization Factor = Stress / Sallow
