What’s New in SDC Verifier 2020.0.1
Improvements:
- Support of Simcenter 3D 2020.2;
- Apply Wind Load in Ansys. Beam (except general shapes), plate and solid elements (beta) support;
- Define only consistent unit systems for new Project (Ansys);
- Weld Finder. Set Weld Part type commands: set to Welded/Non-Welded/Invert;
- Weld Finder – filter weld parts by rule – welds with equal weld parts thicknesses;
- Warning message if the wrong version of Wbex is installed in Workbench (Ansys);

- Warning when beam/sub members elements have a different orientation (important for Moment Ratio tool);
- Automatic Highlight is turned off by default;
- Limits for Utilization Factor parameters in F.E.M 1.001 standard added;
Fixed Bugs:
- The wrong governing load was calculated for check (the value was correct);
- Read Grid Point Forces for beam + plate elements models (Ansys);
- Poor performance when creating a new Job with a lot of steps (Ansys);
- Stiffeners on custom sections were not recognized;
- Constraints were not taken into account in Joint Finder (Ansys);
- Display Beam Member Diagram and Moment Ratio diagram failed to display for beams with orientation node (Ansys);
- Elements with topology Pyramids were not treated as Solid Elements. (Femap);
- Fixed face5 normal calculation for solid elements in Wind Load (Femap);
- Automatic highlight issues on Beam Member Finder and Weld Finder;
- Change job selection affected Solution in Mechanical and changed state to out of date (Ansys);
- Issue when imported groups/named selections;
- Update formula in parameter Torsion Uf Closed (AISC 2010) to remove warning for open shapes about division on zero;
- Weld Finder apply throat thickness t / 2 to all selected weld parts display a warning message;
- Reference point options were not copied in Buoyancy Load (Femap);
- An issue with remove load with references for Job of Jobs;
- In Peak Finder / Governing Loads results were not shown for Load Set Content option for the following categories: Line/Plate Element Forces, Grid Point Forces, Strain Energy;
- Dummy stiffeners were not saved into the project;
- Report Designer:
- Duplicated plots/tables were added for categories;
- Edit Governing Loads tool;
- Copy to Loads command ignored Fatigue Groups;
- Selected materials in the Materials table were ignored;
- Constraint plot used a default view and not selected views;
- Preface SDC Verifier version changed from 20 to 2020;
- An issue with imported results from Job;
- Model Setup commands depended on selected items in the report tree;
- Project from the report was not saved if it has not been saved from the main window;
