What’s New in SDC Verifier 2022 R1
New Features and improvements
- Support of Ansys 2022 R1, Femap 2022.1, Simcenter 3D 2022.1.
- Added Wave Load and Wave Coefficients (Ansys).
- Rainflow Counting:
- Weld Stresses category added;
- Added variables to use results of the tool in checks.
- Tapered Beam Tool to refine mesh of tapered beams (Femap).

- Wind Load:
- Option to use Local or Model drag coefficients;
- Import drag coefficients to model from the local wind;
- Apply wind with drag coefficients from another wind;
- Warning if drag coefficients of wind are not the same as on the model;
- Local drag coefficient table in Report.
- Moment Ratio Tool:
- Added option to calculate results using principal moments;
- Added variables in checks to use results based on principal moments.
- Report Designer:
- Possibility to keep current report structure when switching to another type of report structure;
- Option to save/load generated report items in the project file (items content is kept after the re-opening report, no need to re-generate report).
- Removed ‘Beta’ from the standards:
- AIJ-2017 (2005 Edition). Design Standard for Steel Structures ̿Based on Allowable Stress Concept;
- Eurocode3 Bolts (EN 1993-1-8, 2005) Design of steel structures – Part 1-8: Design of joints;
- Eurocode3 Connections (EN 1993-1-8, 2005) Design of steel structures – Part 1-8: Design of joints;
- ASME B31.8 (2018) Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems.
- Apply values of the Input (Constants, Characteristics, Classifications, Standard Tables) of one standard to identical standard;
- Export Load Combinations to ‘CSV’ file to be used for Solution Combination in Mechanical (Ansys).
- Link Analyses to Jobs if they do not exist in Ansys Mechanical (e.g., open project between different Mechanical models).
- Display chart on selected rows/columns in Standard Table.
- Open Expand/Extreme Table on selected governing load in Governing Load Tool.
- Reduced amount of plugins to 2 instead of having separate plugins for each version.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed formula of Alpha_cr parameter in Eurocode3 Plate Buckling (EN 1993-1-5, 2006) standard to handle zero directional stresses.
- Unit system was not taken into account in Eurocode3 Bolts (EN 1993-1-8, 2005) standard that leaded to scaled utilization factor.
- Fixed formulas to return 12345678 value for Second-Order Effect if multiplier B1 is negative in AISC 360-10 Members (14th, 2010) and AISC ASD 89 (9th, 1989) standards.
- Results of Checks were not automatically cleared after modifying Classification.
- Moment Shear Force tool modified nodes coordinates inside SDC Verifier when using origin offset option.
- Different Classification plot colors and label values in the main window and report.
- Views list was not stored to project file for Constraint item in Report Designer.
- Nodal results (e.g., Displacement) were not calculated if the model was not up to date. Added message to update the model.
