Bolt Checks in SDC Verifier

What can SDC Verifier do for you?

Verify bolt connections under real-world loads — directly in your FEA models. SDC Verifier automates bolt strength and slip checks using VDI 2230, Eurocode 3, and AISC 360-10. Run calculations for axial, shear, and combined loading; analyze preload, friction, and tightening torque; and generate traceable reports — all within your simulation environment. Built for engineers verifying structural joints in offshore, civil, and mechanical applications.

Industries

Offshore & Maritime

Validate fatigue life in FPSOs, jack-up rigs, and mooring systems under cyclic wave and wind loads.

Heavy Lifting

Verify cranes, jibs, and lifting devices for fatigue failure under repeated load cycles using EN 13001, FEM 1.001, and DIN 15018.

Civil Engineering

Check fatigue resistance of bridges, tunnels, and urban structures based on Eurocode 3 Fatigue and FKM methods.

Machinery Equipment

Assess fatigue durability of conveyor systems, robotic arms, and machine bases with FKM (5th/6th ed.) and BS 7608.

Renewable Energy

Optimize wind turbine towers, offshore platforms, and solar frame systems for fatigue performance over extended lifespans.

Oil & Gas

Ensure safe fatigue life of pressure vessels, tanks, and pipelines under fluctuating thermal and pressure loads.

Railway

Apply fatigue checks to bridges, platform frames, and rolling stock components using DVS 1608/1612 and FKM guidelines.

Defense

Evaluate armored vehicle structures, joints, and communication towers under repeated loading conditions.

Bolt Check Automation That Engineers Actually Trust

Run bolt strength and preload checks against Eurocode, AISC, and VDI in minutes — no scripts, no manual post-processing.
