About event

That is why we have prepared a webinar which will help you solve these problems!  
On December 11, 2025, at 16:00 CET, join SDC Verifier’s structural engineer Mateusz Sandrzyk for a webinar, “Weld Strength and Buckling Checks in Offshore Oil & Gas Structures.” 

What you will learn

• Why weld and buckling checks are critical in offshore structural design 

• Overview of key offshore standards: DNV, ABS, LR, BV, API, NORSOK

• Weld Strength Checks: how to verify typical welded connections, apply weld checks according to standards, and avoid common problems (stress extraction & load combination mistakes, and incorrect acceptance criteria). 

• Buckling Checks: what are types of buckling in offshore structures, compare verification approaches across major standards, and solve practical challenges (imperfections, combined loads, and cyclic effects). 

• Compliance Issues: frequent engineering mistakes, typical non-conformities during class approval, and differences between standards that often lead to rework. 

• How to automate weld and buckling checks using SDC Verifier software and SDC extensions directly in Ansys, Femap, and Simcenter 3D, with practical demonstrations for each platform. 

• How SDC Verifier provides built-in support for multiple standards and consistent reporting, reducing manual effort. 

Who should attend

If you work with offshore structures in the oil and gas industry and want to improve the accuracy, speed, and reliability of your weld and buckling assessments, this webinar is designed for you.
