SDC for Simcenter 3D is a specialized structural verification software designed to work seamlessly on top of Simcenter 3D. It directly utilizes Simcenter 3D's .fem models, eliminating the need to build new models specifically for verification. The software features a comprehensive and constantly growing built-in engineering standards library, enabling users to easily perform critical structural analyses such as fatigue, buckling, weld, bolt, and custom design checks in accordance with various industry codes and regulations. The solution includes specially designed Recognition tools that automatically detect structural members like welds, beams, plates, and connections (joints), significantly streamlining the analysis process. An integrated Optimization module empowers engineers to make optimal design decisions based on the results of code checks. This module allows for optimization based on various parameters, including cross-section, weld type, yield stress, and plate thickness. Furthermore, SDC for Simcenter 3D generates comprehensive, template-based reports that present all calculated results through clear plots and tables. These reports are suitable for integration with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Simulation Process and Data Management (SPDM) systems. In the event of any changes in the calculation process, all results can be regenerated with a single click, ensuring efficiency and accuracy. The software also offers an Open API for advanced project automation, enhancing overall workflow efficiency for engineering teams.
