Engineering Standards

Here you can find a list of all implemented engineering standards and safety codes in SDC Verifier that you can use out of the box to check your structure directly in your FEA software. 

SDC Verifier checks your model according to numerous standards rules, regulations and safety codes from the built-in library or custom ones. SDC Verifier’s library contains 30+ different standards and continuously grows. The checks are entirely open, so the user can customize, modify or even write his own formulas.

Currently, SDC Verifier works with Ansys Mechanical, Femap and Simcenter 3D.
