SDC for Ansys is a specialized structural verification software designed to work seamlessly on top of Ansys Mechanical. It significantly streamlines the engineering workflow by incorporating a built-in engineering standards library, enabling users to easily perform comprehensive checks for fatigue, buckling, welds, bolts, and custom design parameters. These checks adhere to various industry codes and regulations, ensuring compliance and reliability. The software features specially designed Recognition tools that automatically detect structural elements such as welds, beams, plates, and connections (joints), enhancing efficiency and accuracy. An integrated Optimization module assists engineers in making optimal design decisions by analyzing code check results. This module allows for optimization based on critical parameters like cross-section, weld type, yield stress, and plate thickness. For documentation and project management, SDC for Ansys offers template-based reports that present all calculated results through clear plots and tables. A key benefit is the ability to regenerate all results with a single click, ensuring up-to-date documentation even after changes in the calculation process. This comprehensive reporting capability is particularly suitable for integration with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) systems.
