Fully implemented in SDC Verifier.
DVS 1612, published in August 2014, defines methods for the design and endurance strength assessment of steel welded joints used in rail vehicle structures. Applicable to welded plates >2 mm (and in some cases >1.5 mm), it ensures welded assemblies withstand both static and fatigue loading across service life cycles.
In SDC Verifier, DVS 1612 is implemented with full support for:
This implementation enables design teams to validate steel structures against both long-term fatigue and short-term stress failures in rail vehicles.
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.
