SDC Verifier

The rainflow counting method is often misunderstood, inconsistently applied, or incorrectly implemented in practice, despite being widely used in verification. Engineers frequently struggle with interpreting cycles, handling half cycles, and correctly integrating rainflow results with different standards.

About event

That is why we have prepared a webinar focused on the Rainflow Counting Method and its correct application for code-compliant fatigue verification.

On April 8, 2026, at 16:00 CET, join Michal Oleksy, Structural Engineer at SDC Verifier, for this practical session on applying rainflow counting to real-world engineering problems and integrating it into verification workflows.

What you will learn

Why fatigue verification requires more than simple cycle counting
Fundamentals of the rainflow counting method: cycle extraction, half vs full cycles, and common interpretation mistakes
How standards like DIN, Eurocode, F.E.M. and EN use rainflow counting
Typical pitfalls when moving from simulation to verification
How to extract stress time histories from FEA results and correctly combine rainflow output with mean stress correction and Miner’s rule
Common workflow pitfalls and how SDC Verifier ensures consistent, correct verification

Who should attend

If you are a structural or FEA engineer working with fatigue analysis and design verification, this webinar is for you!
