Commands to copy SDC Verifier project files between systems in Ansys Workbench:
Duplicate – duplicate SDC Verifier system with all related project files and keep the link to the same Workbench Model;
Import File – pick SDC Verifier project file to copy from the file system manually;
Import From Same Model – select project files from the list to be imported to current SDC Verifier system from all systems that are connected to the same Workbench Model;
Import As Template – select project files from the list to be imported to current SDC Verifier system from all systems that are not connected to the current Workbench Model.
Export results to Ansys command – select plots from the list of predefined plots in Jobs and Standards and create them in Ansys Mechanical without evaluating them:
Import/Export project parts (Views, Components, Reports, Recognition Tools) to files to be used between SDC Verifier Projects:
Import Shapes to the library from Excel templates:
Flow Table for Weld Checks (Full Weld method):
Select recognition items (Joints, Beam Members, etc.) by picking elements on a model or by text rule (by IDs of elements, properties, etc.) commands:
Connection Check is included in Peak Finder and Governing Load tools.
New variables in Connection Check to get results from braces other than the calculated brace:
Plot classification values (criteria plot) and labels (colored plot) options.
Display warnings on project opening (for example if recognition tools contain missing elements):
Open project statistics by double-clicking Nodes/Elements info:
Open location of the model in the file system by double-clicking Model Path info:
“Read Each Body as Separate Property” option is added in Preferences (Ansys).
Export to Excel command in create/edit multiple Load Sets and Load Groups windows.
Recognition recovery for Connection Finder Tool.
Save/Load Fatigue Summation and Connection checks to library.
Report improvements:
Content of Fatigue Groups;
Wind/Wave Y and Z drag coefficients in one table;
Connection Check tables/plots;
Deflection Check tables/plots.
Export Joints from Joint Finder Tool as separate components.
Bug Fixes:
FKM (5th, 2003):
Incorrect brackets were used in “Mean stress factor_Type F2“ parameter of check “2..Fatigue Check”;
Values in Table 5.7.1 are updated not to use 12345678 number for non-existing factors as it provided a non-conservative results.
EN 13001 (2018):
Parameter “Damage root m” was removed from check “2..Fatigue (Direct Use of Stress History)”;
Added square root in Overall direction for parameter “Fatigue Damage” in checks “2..Fatigue (Direct Use of Stress History)” and “3..Fatigue (Simplified method)”.
Eurocode 3 Welds (EN 1993-1-8, 2005) – Minimum Yield/Tensile was not used from the Weld Finder Tool but was always taken from calculated element.
Failed to read centroid stresses from elements other than plates/solids (Simcenter).
Incorrect restoring of governing loads for Custom Checks from SDC Verifier result files when Custom Check was calculated on more than 100,000 elements.
Plotting with labels (for example, in Classification) crashed the program (Ansys).
Same result folder was used if to copy SDC Verifier project manually in file system that leaded to results overwriting.
Peak Finder:
Failed to calculate for checks that do not require load for calculations;
Display Load Set content percentage without negative values and scaled to get 100% in summary.
Save/Load standards from library fixes (classification type, parameter limit).
Fixed recognition of panels/plates in Panel Finder Tool on models where beam and plate borders met at the same time.
Highlight beam member on a model cleared labels (Simcenter).
Incorrect location of Normal Stresses Phase factor option in DVS 1608 and DVS 1612 wizard: moved from Steel Fatigue to Aluminum Fatigue block.
Incorrect conversion of cross-section properties (Area, Iyy, Izz, etc.) from units stored in Shape Library to units defined in Model Unit System.
Displayed unit system was used in report materials and properties instead of Model unit system.
Force and Pressure units could not be edited in Display Unit System.
Empty title displayed for contour plot in Mechanical (Ansys).
