Custom Standard

Standard is a set of checks and items to perform calculations according to formulas and rules.

To add Custom Standard execute Standards - Main - Custom from the ribbon.

Standard contains:

• Constants;
• Types;
• Characteristics;
• Classification;
• Standard Tables;
• Checks;
• Variables.

It is possible to convert a predefined (built-in) standard into Custom. Select standard and execute Convert to Custom from the Standard context menu:

Apply Values to Identical Standard - copy all the Input (Constants, Characteristics, Classifications, Standard Tables) of the standard from selected standard to another standard of the same type. Command is available only for predefined standards.

Note: command can be executed on individual item of the Input part of the standard or on a group of items (e.g. Characteristics).

Constants

Constants is a static value which can be used in checks with the help of Alias. It is useful to create constants and use them in formulas because in case of modifications (related to constants) it is required to make a change in one place only.

Constant dialog box:

Types

Standard type is a list of titles that can be used in classification or characteristic instead of numbers. To add a new type press Add from the menu:

The following dialog window will be displayed:

- add a new item;

- paste titles/aliases from the clipboard. Spaces in alias will be removed automatically;

- edit the selected item;

- remove selected items;

Import from another standard - import already existing classification type from existing standards:

Select standard, standard type and press OK to create new standard type.

Copy to standard - export all types to the existing custom standards. If type already exists it will be skipped:

Characteristics

SDC Verifier allows adding extra properties called Characteristics to use them in Standard check formulas. There are four types of characteristics: Material, Property, Elemental and Load.

To add Characteristics use the Characteristics context menu:

All characteristic types can be created by additional subtypes that are taken from the Types list. Numeric type is a default type and allows to apply numeric values in characteristic.

Add Material/Property Characteristic:

Set Alias to use characteristic in check formulas.

To plot characteristic values for all materials/properties press .

Add Element characteristic:

- add Node/Element group and set the value:

- edit group elements and value;

- copy selected groups with values;

- remove selected groups;

- highlight selected group nodes/elements on the model;

- plot characteristic values of selected groups;

- colored plot with selection title label of selected groups;

- colored plot with value label of selected groups;

- move selected conditions up;

- move selected conditions down.

Note: Import is available for element type characteristic only with Numeric Type.

Press Import to import Beam Length/Effective Length Factor from Beam Member Finder, Plate Width/Length and Stiffener Length from Panel Finder or Welds from Weld Finder.

All previous data from characteristic can be removed:

Import dialog box:

If Beam Member data is selected then it is required to select the direction from the list:

Note: For weld finders, only the groups with 0 values will be created.

Classification

Classification is an extra element characteristic that can be set over directions.

To add classification select type in classification Add menu item:

Numeric classification - allows to set numeric values of the classification. It is flexible as it can be used in the creation of any kind of own calculations. It is available for all types of standards. Extra classifications are possible to be created using Types. Different standards have their own predefined classifications. For example, DIN 15018 Standard predefined classifications are Element group, Weld Type and Material Type.

Set classification Alias to use it in Custom check formulas.

- add classification condition;

- edit selected condition;

- copy selected conditions;

- remove selected conditions;

- move selected conditions up;

- move selected conditions down.

Note: The first condition cannot be modified, moved, copied or removed.

- highlight selected condition elements;

- select direction to plot classification values as criteria plot or as label plot;

Selection - part of the model for which plot will be displayed;

Label Plot

Criteria Plot

Note: Values are calculated condition by condition. If the same element is a part of different conditions - the last condition value is taken. If the element does not belong to any condition - the value from the fist condition is taken.

- select welds from Weld Finder and add a list of conditions with empty classification (one weld one condition).

- classification stores values in the memory. Clear values from the memory to refresh the classification. Results of checks where classification is used wil be cleared after pressing OK button.

Classification Condition

Classification condition is applied to the selected directions of the selected elements.

Define Selection to be used in the condition.

One condition - set the value to the selected directions;

Multiple conditions - select the value for each direction separately. The directions with the same values will be grouped in one condition. Other values will form different conditions.

Use All, None, X/Y/XY buttons to operate with selected directions.

Standard Tables

Standard Table is a two-dimensional matrix of static values.

To add Standard Table press Add in Standard Tables context menu:

The following window for parameters setting will be displayed:

Set table Alias to use it in Custom check formulas.

Set count of rows and columns and press Apply to build the table.

Paste full table – paste full table from the clipboard.

Paste cell values – paste values from clipboard to cells starting from top left selected cell.

Note: To cut the table set less value for a row or a column count.

It is possible to define a row and a column Headers based on the Types List

- display chart of the selected in the following window rows/columns of data to be used for X and Y axes of the chart:

Sort X Axis Values - reorder data selected in rows in ascending order;

Alias

Alias is a unique name for Standard items through which they can be accessed in Custom check formulas.

Note: Alias can contain only letters, digits and underscore symbol ("_"). Alias is unique inside the standard and must be different from the model and result variables such as (Area, Yield, S, Abs, etc.).

Note: Alias of the standard is unique between the standards and must be different from the model and result variables.

Checks

• Custom Check;
• Custom Plate Buckling Check;
• Custom Weld Check;
• Custom Connection Check;
• Custom Rainflow Summation Check;

Custom Check

Custom Check is used in SDC Verifier to perform any user-defined calculations. Custom Check consists of Parameters - formulas are made up of model variables, constants and mathematical operations, results and functions.

There are 4 predefined checks: Static Stress Check, Plate Average Stress, Plate Principal Stresses and Solid Principal Stresses.

To add Custom Check execute Add - Custom Check in the checks context menu:

Common commands are described in Common Chapter

Alias - variable name to access it from other checks.

Calculate Results over Directions - calculate for X, Y, Z, XY, YZ, ZX, Equivalent, Overall directions, otherwise one direction is calculated.

Calculate Results over Points - calculate for all element's points of interest, otherwise, one point is calculated.

Note: Calculate Results over Directions and Calculate Results over Points should be defined before the first parameter is selected.

Define Selection (by default all entities) using Selector Control to select entities that will be calculated.

Note: Only part of a model can be selected to reduce the calculation time and quickly obtain results for critical places of the model.

Load calculation can be calculated on All Loads or on Load Groups only.

If All Loads option is used then Load Group is calculated as envelope (like in Job), formulas are calculated for Individual Loads, Load Sets but Load Group is min/max/abs among its items.

If Load Groups option is used then formulas are based on group results, e.g. min/max/abs can be used for stresses, strains, line element force and plane element force.

Note: If Custom Check (no load) is created - Load Calculation Type is disabled.

Add Parameter

To add Parameter to the Custom Check press .  For each parameter, the Title and Alias must be defined.

Replacement - means the outcome is intermediate and not stored. The purpose of the replacement is to be used in other parameters from the current check and don't consume memory.

It is possible to create separate formulas for each direction. One formula will be used for all directions if it is inputted into the All Directions text field.

If the formula of a parameter contains logic operations, then the result will be 1 if the condition is fulfilled, else 0 will be assigned to the parameter value.

Note: Formulas in SDC Verifier are case insensitive.

Entities in the Main Functions contains the most important functions containing sqrt(), max(),power(), average(), etc.

All available variables of formulas are collected in the Items

- Mathematical Operations;

- Material Variables (contains characteristics, namely Young modulus, Poisson ratio, mass density, shear modulus, yield limit and tensile strength);

- Property Variables (contains the characteristics of model properties such as an area for beam type element, thickness for plate element, cross-section dimensions, etc.);

Rainflow Parameter

Performs calculations using the ranges calculated by Rainflow Counting Tool. Result depends on the selected Category and Method in the check. Calculations are performed for each range separately and for each point of interest of the element. Parameter can use Rainflow Counting Variables.

Note: Parameter is calculated only internally and result for it is not stored to result files. Therefore, it is not possible to select it in tables/plots to display the result.

Note: Formulas for Equivalent and Overall directions are not available to be set.

Rainflow Summation Parameter

Parameter is used to summarize result from each of the calculated range for selected Rainflow Parameter and represents result of a Load Group.
