Tackle Renewable Energy Challenges with SDC Verifier

SDC Verifier is advanced structural analysis software tailored for the design, simulation, and certification of complex renewable energy systems — from wind turbine towers and offshore wind farms to solar panel frameworks and geothermal plants.

Tough compliance standards? → Run built-in structural checks with renewable energy standards: ISO, DNV, AISC, API.
Manual detection takes too long? → Automatically identify welds, joints, plates, and beams.
Struggling with documentation? → Create template-based reports in just one click.
Tired of switching tools? → Work directly inside Ansys, Femap, or Simcenter 3D — no exports needed.
Need better performance? → Optimize structures early in the design stage using real-world load conditions.

Report for Certification

A clear report that tells the story — what was requested, how the model was built, what was checked, and what the results mean for wind/solar structures.

What’s inside:

Inputs & model setup — geometry, materials/thicknesses, mesh; loads & combinations (wind, wave/current, seismic, transport/lift); boundary conditions.
How we checked — selected standards and editions with clause numbers, assumptions, and parameters; formulas shown step-by-step.
Results — plots and tables with governing panels/members/welds/bolts, utilizations and margins, notes on pass/fail and governing combinations.
Traceability — solver and version, model ID/hash and timestamp, file names/paths, unit/sign conventions, rule set & edition used.

Note: Results depend on your model and chosen factors; final approval rests with the reviewing authority (e.g., DNV / ISO/API / Eurocode per project basis).
