SDC Verifier

Hidden structural risks in wind turbine support structures often remain undetected until they lead to fatigue damage, instability, or costly repowerings. While global analyses may indicate acceptable performance, they frequently overlook critical local effects driven by cyclic, combined, and time-dependent loading conditions.

About event

We have prepared a webinar focused on identifying and evaluating hidden structural risks in wind turbine support structures using advanced simulation and verification workflows.

On May 13, 2026, at 16:00 CET, join our structural engineer, Mateusz Sandrzyk, for this practical session on how to bridge the gap between global FEA results and detailed, code-compliant structural verification.

What you will learn

Why hidden structural risks arise: wind-induced cyclic loading, mismatch between design and real operation, and limits of global checks
Support structures as fatigue-driven systems: load paths in towers, blades, and jackets, interaction between global behavior and local details, and where hidden risks typically develop
Where traditional verification falls short: simplified load envelopes, conservative assumptions vs real stress histories, and gaps between global FEA results and local checks
How to identify hidden risks with SDC Verifier: capture real load effects, detect critical stress ranges and instability-prone zones, evaluate fatigue and buckling, and follow code-compliant verification
How to use SDC SAM to support lifetime extension and inspection planning: increase confidence in reinforcement and design optimization

Who should attend

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