SDC Verifier

SDC Verifier is a powerful post-processor program with an advanced calculation core for checking structures according to different standards and report generation. The goal is to automate all possible routine work and speed up a verification of the engineering projects significantly.

SDC implements fatigue check according to following standards: Eurocode3, FEM 1.001 and DIN15018 based on Smith Correction and Palmgren-Miner S-N curves methods. Plates can be checked against buckling according to ABS 2004/2014 and DNV 1995/RP-C201 2010 rules. SDC Verifier implements the following standards for checking large (offshore) lattice structures: AISC/ANSI 360-10, API RP-2A, ISO 19902, Norsok N004 and Eurocode3. With the built-in report designer, it is possible to completely control structure of the report and easily preview and modify it. SDC also comes with a Presentation Designer which generates PowerPoint Presentation directly from SDC Verifier.

Key Updates in SDC Verifier 2025 R1

New Account-Based Licensing & Personal Cabinet

  • Centralized license management at personal cabinet.
  • Flexible license tracking – Engineers can access and manage licenses from any device.

Instant trial activation – Start trials immediately with no additional setup.

 

The new system simplifies software access and eliminates administrative bottlenecks, ensuring seamless engineering workflows.

Oleg Ishchuk, COO of SDC Verifier: ” With account-based licensing, SDC Verifier removes the hassle of license keys and manual activation. Now, engineers can log in from any machine, start their trial instantly, and access all software and license details from a single dashboard. Company admins get full control — adding users, tracking limits, and optimizing licenses with just a few clicks. It’s licensing made simple, efficient, and built for flexibility”

Expanded FEA Compatibility

  • Now supports Ansys 2025 R1, Simcenter 3D 2412, and Femap 2412.
  • Femap 2412 model import is now available in the SDC Verifier 2025 R1 v

New Standards for Compliance Checks

  • DNV RP-C203 Fatigue (2024) – Updated fatigue life assessment.
  • LR CSR Plate Buckling (2024) – Expanded classification checks for ship structures.
  • IACS UR S35 Plate Buckling (2023) – New buckling resistance evaluation.

Roman Samchuk, Head of Engineering Department:
“SDC Verifier 2025 R1 takes buckling analysis to the next level. With L-shapes for beam checks, expanded plate buckling standards, and automatic stiffener recognition, engineers get more accurate, detailed calculations without extra modeling effort. Fatigue analysis runs faster, and new shortcuts make standalone workflows smoother than ever.”

Performance and Functionality Enhancements

  • Optimized Fatigue Calculations – Hot spot stress disabled by default to reduce processing time.
  • Refined Weld Summation Tool – Now includes mid-side node forces for improved accuracy.
  • Standalone Mode for Ansys Mechanical – additional workflow to connect to Ansys Mechanical directly omitting Workbench.
  • Mass Tuner for Femap & SDC Verifier – Improved mass distribution control.
  • Node ID Display in Job Tables – Simplifies result overview.
  • 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝟐𝐃 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡 – improves the detection of structural elements within 𝟐𝐃 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬, making it possible to identify and analyze stiffeners not only modelled with 1D but also 2D elements.

“Fatigue failures don’t wait for slow calculations. We’ve cut processing times, refined our standalone Ansys Mechanical integration, and built a faster, more responsive workflow. Engineers get results quicker, with fewer steps — because their time should be spent solving problems, not waiting on software.” — Bohdan Melnyk, Head of Development, SDC Verifier

Stability Improvements

  • Weld Strength Check (EN 13001) – Now includes bending stresses for accurate assessments.
  • Updated Formulas in AISC 360-22 & Eurocode3 Bolts – Fixes underestimated shear calculations.
  • Normal Modes Analysis – Can now run without loads in Femap and Standalone.
  • Panel Finder Enhancements – Improved recognition of custom sections.
  • Corrected Wind Load Units – More accurate calculations across different systems.
