Enhancements to StressCheck
User's are encouraged to request enhancements to StressCheck at any time by sending an email to support. Enhancement requests will be assigned a priority based on the general interest of the StressCheck user community and implemented when time and resources are available. If an enhancement is of particular importance, it is possible to have the functionality added to StressCheck in a timely manner by funding a development contract. If the requested feature is of sufficient interest to the general StressCheck user community, ESRD may consider rebating the cost of the development back to the contractor in the form of rebates or discounts to be applied to future purchases of StressCheck software licenses.
ESRD has responded to many customer enhancement requests, a few of which are listed below:
- Automated Coldworking Analysis
- Thin Solid Elements
- Margin Check Analysis
- Laminated Properties in Cylindrical Coordinates
- J1 Failure Criteria for Composites
- Global/Local Analysis
- Incremental Theory of Plasticity
