What’s New in SDC Verifier

We’re constantly improving SDC Verifier to keep it at the forefront of structural engineering. Each new release brings innovative features, updated standards compliance, and bug fixes.

Here you can find detailed information about the latest developments in the newest version of SDC Verifier. Explore what’s new and see how these updates can support your design and verification work.

New features in SDC Verifier

  • Fatigue check according to Eurocode 3:
  • Calculation Core is completely updated to improve memory management. A lot of data is calculated dynamically and it allows to use less memory (plates 44%, and solids – 36%);
  • New Checks with high performance and low memory usage: Property Check and Custom Check (no load):
  • Tank and Buoyancy Loads are updated: performance, interface, and possibility to define faces pressure are applied:
  • ANSI/AISC 360-10 – standard performance and memory usage is improved (new check types are used);
  • API RP-2A unit system is added (Pa, MPa, psi, ksi);
  • Panel Finder – plate width > length limitation is removed. Join Plates features are added. When research is run it is possible to keep user plates (joined plates or plates with updated parameters);
  • Joint check: maximum chord curvature angle option, calculate all braces as TY option;
  • Thickness Plot – displays plate thickness using a label. The tool automatically groups elements with same property:
  • Characteristic Plot in report with selection and labels;
  • Move option in classification;
  • New type of characteristics – load characteristic;
  • Fatigue Groups – set of Load Groups with defined number of cycles. Used to calculate fatigue according to Eurocode3′
  • Fatigue Summation Check – custom check with possibility to calculate summation of fatigue damage;
  • Improved switching between Embed and Standalone Mode – now;
  • Select sections in expand plate buckling table;
  • Interface and selection logic I Multiple Load Selector is updated;
  • Summation over nodes in Expand Flow Table for Load Groups updated: now results are summed for Individual Loads/Load Sets and then Absolute Maximum is calculated. Load Group displays absolute maximum force among its items;
  • Message Window in report designer;

Fixing Bugs

#FixingBugs
  • Read Solid Stresses for selection (part of the model);
  • Yield and Tensile stress were cleared if materials are renamed;
  • Message “Deformation Vector does not exist” after plotting;
  • Failed to read line elements force results when Warping Torque is missing (Ansys solver was used to analyze the model);
  • Run Analysis in Femap 11.2;
  • Issue with floating license when open project by clicking on project file;
  • Warning about slenderness = 0 if more than 1 property is used in beam member;
  • Copy to clipboard using shortcut in Multiple Edit Load Sets/Load Groups;
  • Break option 1D Joint was not stored to project file;
  • Remove non-existing sections in plate buckling tables;
  • Edit multiple joints – set 1D and Free type was not possible;
  • Sending license request and errors;
  • After editing constant it was not displayed in report;
  • Clear Output Sets in Individual Loads when using Update function;
  • Turn off property Ids when display criteria/contour plot;
  • Consume a lot of memory for results when high ID numbers are used (e.g 9 000 000).
