Why SDC Verifier?

SDC Verifier is a leading oil and gas engineering software for structural design and analysis, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Accuracy, speed and scalability of simulation and verification of Oil and Gas industry structures are the main reasons for using SDC Verifier. Real-world behavior of Storage Tanks, Pressure Vessels, Oil Rigs, Flare Stacks, FPSOs, Refinery Structures, and various other complex structural configurations can be accurately captured and analyzed.

Derricks, masts, distillation columns, reactors, fractionation towers, and different types of substructures and support structures can be easily designed by engineers and verified with the local and global rules for the Oil and Gas industry.

The benefits of SDC Verifier for Oil and Gas industry structures simulation and verification are the seamless FEA design or import of the CAD model for simulation. Automatic detection of beams, welds, joints, and plates for further use in checks, a constantly growing library of standards and rules for the Oil and Gas industry, have proven their effectiveness in tackling challenging tasks.

Engineers appreciate SDC Verifier’s features of structural optimization according to predefined parameters and automatic report generation that are essential for engineering results presentation.
