What’s New in SDC Verifier 2023 R1

  • Support of Ansys 2023 R1 and Femap 2301;
  • New version of ISO 19902 (2nd, 2020) standard;
  • Added the possibility to set Single Fillet weld type in Weld Finder Tool and define from which side the weld is located:
Single Fillet weld type in Weld Finder Tool
  • Added new variables for weld type and weld side to be used in weld checks;
  • Added option to Load Set if it is a linear summation of elemental stress results or Spectral:

\(Standard=IL_1*F_1+IL_2*F_2+⋯+IL_n*F_n\)

\(Spectral=\sqrt{(IL_1*F_1)^2+(IL_2*F_2)^2+⋯+(IL_n*F_n)^2}\)

 

 

  • New design of main window:
SDC Verifier 2023 R1 Main Window
  • Added command to set Individual Load titles from the applied loads in steps in Mechanical (Ansys):
set Individual Load titles from the applied loads in steps in Mechanical (Ansys)
  • Added command to create Solution Combination from Load Sets (Ansys):
Solution Combination from Load Sets (Ansys)
  • Panel Finder:
    • Added option to Panel Finder settings to set the maximum curvature angle of stiffeners;
    • Added possibility to change if stiffener is curved or not;
  • Added filters and metadata (settings that the table was built with) to the majority of result tables:
SDC Verifier 2923 R1. Table Filter
  • Added ‘Recognize All’ command to run the recognition process of all recognition tools;
  • Added possibility to filter joints in Joint Finder tool by selection and type of the joint;
  • Merged Force Summation Table (over loads) and Force Summation Table (over selections) into one table;

Bug Fixes:

  • Eurocode3 Plate Buckling (EN 1993-1-5, 2006). Fixed formula of parameter ‘Alpha_cr’ in check ’1..Plate Buckling’;
  • Eurocode3 Connections (EN 1993-1-8, 2005):
    • Fixed formula of parameter ‘Is Punching Shear Check Required’ in check ‘3..Resistances (CHS)’;
    • Fixed formula of parameter ‘UF Combined’ in check ‘7..Utilization Factors’;
  • EN 13001 (2018). Fixed formula of parameter ‘Utilization Factor’ in check ‘1..Static Stress Check’;
  • Mechanical crashed when plotting in Ansys 2022 R2;
  • Plate offsets were not read from Ansys. Consequently, origin of weld parts in Weld Finder tool did not take into account the plate offsets;
  • Cross-section thickness was not displayed when plotting results in Simcenter 3D;
  • The Brace Stress tool did not take into account the display unit system when displaying results in the table;
  • Performance has been improved when opening Ansys projects that contain many solutions and loads in the model;
  • Performance has been improved when reading nodal results (e.g., displacements, reaction forces) from Ansys;
