Getting Started

Before using SDC Verifier make sure that Simcenter Femap with Nastran is installed on your computer. List of supported by SDC Verifier CAE versions can be checked here.

Femap allows connecting to the first run instance. SDC Verifier connects to the first run instance and checks if the model is opened. If not, it opens the model automatically. If the model is opened in another instance it will be opened in the First instance as read-only.

Warning:

Do not use Modify - Renumber command in Femap during your work with SDC Verifier. This will lead to the wrong results or errors because SDC Verifier and FEMAP entities are strongly connected with their ID numbers.
