Fatigue checks of the crane structures according Eurocode 3 EN 13001 FEM 1 001 using SDC Verifier

All structures subjected to repetitive loading have to be checked for Fatigue damage to define the residual lifetime, investigate or prevent cracks or failures. This helps with the design of new structures as well as with maintenance of the existing ones. SDC Verifier present complete set of tools to recognize […]

Beam Member Check in Ansys with SDC Verifier according to Eurocode 3. Structural Fire Design.

We made a video tutorial to show how easy you can perform Beam Member Check in Ansys according to Eurocode 3. Structural Fire Design with the help of SDC Verifier. 00:00 Introduction 00:27 Opening model (Lattice structure) 01:15 Adding EC 3 Fire Design Standard to SDC Verifier project 01:58 Input […]

Eurocode 3. Example 6.9: Member resistance under combined major axis bending and axial compression

In this article we compare the resistance under combined major axis bending and axial compression according to SDC Verifier and Designer’s Guide to Eurocode3: Design of steel buildings EN 1993-1-1. All results are generated with SDC Verifier 5.3 and calculated with FEMAP v2019.1. Task: A rectangular hollow section (RHS) member […]

Eurocode3 Design Examples

This article provides list of examples from “Designers’ Guide to Eurocode3: Design of steel buildings EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1993-1-8” to verify design results of SDC Verifier.   Example 6.6: cross-section resistance under combined bending and compression; Example 6.7: buckling resistance of a compression member; Example 6.9: member […]

AISC 360-10 and Eurocode 3

The tutorial illustrates how to perform Member Check according to the AISC 360-10. A beam model of a lattice structure has been used as a start FEM model. In this tutorial, AISC 360-10 Beam Design Checks are reviewed in details. A beam model structure has been used as a start […]
