  • Predefined Report for Plate Buckling. Select Loads, Views, preferred structure and plate buckling report is ready:
  •   SDC Verifier
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Panel Finder: Find All button – recognize sections and plates in all directions. Custom Section found automatically:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • A filter in Plate Buckling Table. See only the plates that have Buckling Factor above the limit. It is possible to display only the plates that fail (BF > 1). The Plates values are sorted in descending order:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Plate Buckling Expand Flow Table – one section (frame, longitudinal, deck) over few loads:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Selection and Load containers in Report. Copy between the selection/load containers and SDC will update the selection/load for plots and tables automatically. New Created tables/plots are automatically added under the corresponded container (automatic sort).
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Copy plot/table from one check to another.
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Content is inserted automatically in Word
  •   SDC Verifier

  •   SDC Verifier
  • Replace Load/View/Selection
  •   SDC Verifier
  • New rules in Selector: All welds + Welds exceptions + Plate Free Edges, Plates with free edges, Weld tips and Add Visible.
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Moment Ratio tool: calculates min/max bending moment for the full member. The kc coefficient is automatically calculated for Eurocode3:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Formula Editor: intelligence – a list of suggested variables, highlight surrounding scopes, tooltips, shortcuts:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • New variables in checks:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Convert forces into Multiple NodalForces and edit all at once:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • AISC 360-10: evaluate wrapping, neutral offset. Evaluation is not performed automatically. The dialog with the list of properties that will be evaluated is displayed. It is possible to skip evaluation but that will influence on calculations:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Bar/Beam properties. Shape picture with dimensions. Shape for End B:
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Renumber
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Copy between standards
  •   SDC Verifier
  • Characteristic-based on type
  •   SDC Verifier
