SDC Verifier supports the AISC ASD (9th Edition, 1989), enabling automatic verification of structural steel members for tension, compression, bending, shear, and combined loading. Developed by the American Institute of Steel Construction, this standard provides comprehensive guidance for allowable stress and plastic design.
AISC ASD (9th Edition, 1989) — Specification for Structural Steel Buildings: Allowable Stress Design and Plastic Design — was published by the American Institute of Steel Construction. It outlines procedures for designing structural steel members under service-level loads, using allowable stress principles.
This standard forms the foundation for member design checks under:
It applies to structural steel shapes including:
The standard uses conservative criteria and is particularly valuable for engineers working with legacy designs, retrofit projects, or applications where ASD methodology is preferred.
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.
