3. What is SDC Verifier?
www.sdcverifier.com3
The goal of SDCVerifier is checking structures according to
standards and report generation.

4. Load combinations: example from Standard
www.sdcverifier.com4
19Individualloads
SDCVerifier implements:
• Individual Loads;
• Load Sets;
• Load Groups;
A lot of loads and
combinations should
be checked according to
standards.
3LoadGroups
18LoadSets

10. Checks
www.sdcverifier.com10
 Fatigue check according to different methods and
standards
 Plate Buckling according to ABS and DNV standards;
 Custom Checks;
 Moment Shear Force Check;

11. Example: Fatigue Check with mean stress
correction
www.sdcverifier.com11
For single stresses
Fatigue Allowable Stress Design (Goodman relation)
Combined
Maximum Fatigue Damage
Allowable Stress depends on classification
Element Group 6 more
than 2 millions cycles
K4 welds example
Used by standards as DIN 15018, FEM 1.001, DASt-011, BS7608, AISC LRFD, etc

12. Fatigue Example
www.sdcverifier.com12
Allowable Stress vs Kappa Weld class K3 Weld class K0
Pylon Utilization Factor (Smax/Sallow)
Notch group

13. Plate Buckling Check (ABS, DNV)
www.sdcverifier.com13
Calculation methods:
Complete Structure Estimate – user define
standard panel dimension for selection. Element
orientation must be x=length y=width;
Single Panel – each panel is defined. Dimensions
are calculated (check by user). Stresses are
translated into panel direction.
No FEM buckling but stress based
(for full ship +1000 buckling modes)

14. Plate Buckling Example
www.sdcverifier.com14
OK with plate dimensions 700x1200Plots and model IHC Dredgers B.V.
Maximum plate dimensions 700x2450 Maximum plate dimensions 700x1200

15. SDC Verifier is customizable
www.sdcverifier.com15
If check is missing use custom check

16. Simple example 1: Static Stress Check
www.sdcverifier.com16
Equivalent Stress
Utilization Factor
Sallow = Max (Yield, 0.7 * Tensile)
Utilization Factor = Stress / Sallow

27. Re-use of calculation process
www.sdcverifier.com27
 Set in SDCVerifier file:
 full calculation settings
 Apply all loads, load combinations and load groups
 All checks (according to your standard)
 Necessary calculation documents
 Re-use .sdcv file as template with all above settings
