Run buckling and ultimate strength checks in full compliance with ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations (January 2024). Integrated directly into SDC Verifier’s environment, the standard ensures accurate verification of structural plates in offshore systems based on Subsection 5A-3-4.
ABS FPI Plate Buckling (2024) is implemented according to the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations, January 2024. It covers Subsection 5A-3-4/5.3 – Plate Panels and Subsection 5A-3-4/7.3 – Rectangular Plates.
This rule-based assessment is applied to ship-type offshore structures, ensuring compliance with structural design requirements for buckling and ultimate strength. The implementation supports engineers in performing direct checks on plate elements, with full support for material data, custom stress options, and panel geometry recognition.
Work directly within Ansys, Femap, or Simcenter 3D without switching platforms.
Instantly identify beams, plates, welds, and joints in your FEA model.
Perform code checks with built-in support for ABS, AISC, Eurocode, API, and more.
Detect overstressed areas and refine your design with data-driven decisions.
Generate customizable, fully traceable reports with all calculations and references.
