    Solve Offshore Verification Challenges with SDC Verifier

    SDC Verifier is a high‑performance offshore structural analysis software built for design, simulation, and verification of complex structures — from jack‑up rigs and FPSOs to mooring systems and floating LNG terminals.

    • Manual checks slow you down → Auto‑detect plates, welds, bolts, and joints in seconds.
    • Complex standards risk costly errors → Verify with built‑in DNV, ABS, API, ISO, and NORSOK checks.
    • Reporting takes hours → Generate certification‑ready documentation with one click.
    • Juggling multiple FEA tools → Work seamlessly in Ansys, Femap, or Simcenter 3D.

    Report for Certification

    A clear report that tells the story — what was asked, how the model was built, what checked, and what the results mean.

    What’s inside:

    • Inputs & model setup — geometry/materials/thicknesses, mesh, loads and combinations, boundary conditions.
    • How we checked — standards used with clause numbers, assumptions and parameters; formulas shown step-by-step (not a black box).
    • Results — plots and tables with worst-case panels/members/welds/bolts, plus short notes on pass/fail.
    • Traceability — solver and version, file names/paths, unit system, when the report was generated.

    Note: Results depend on your model and chosen factors; final approval is made by the reviewing authority.
