6/12/2008 - ESRD announced the release of StressCheck 8.0.
This release is packed full of new functionality and features three new global-local analysis methods, shell-to-solid mortaring, extension of incremental theory of plasticity (ITP) to 3D solids, and the J-Integral decomposition to compute the separated energy release rate for 2D and 3D models.

StressCheck 8.0 Enhancement Highlights

1) Improved global-local capability through the TLAP (Total Load At Points) methods, TLAP-Traction and TLAP-Bearing.  These new features enable users to conveniently import and assign point load information from a shell model to a detail 3D StressCheck model. Learn more...

2) The ITP is now supported for 3D solid modeling.  In addition, isotropic, kinematic and mixed-mode hardening rules are supported for both 2D and 3D analysis.   This capability enables accurate simulation of fatigue life enhancement techniques (e.g. cold working and interference-fit fasteners) used extensively in the aerospace industry.  Learn more...

3) ESRD continues to add more functionality to its already superior pre- and post-processing capabilities for laminated composites. The new Automatic Lamination tool provides quantum improvements in modeling efficiency, significantly reducing the time it takes to create detailed 'ply-by-ply' models representing composite structure. Additionally, the J-Integral decomposition implementation is especially useful in damage tolerance studies of laminated composites. 


Download Software
StressCheck 9.0 is released, setting new standards for detail modeling of composites and providing the highest fidelity of computed information in the industry. Click here to see why StressCheck has become the tool of choice for detail analysis of fastened and bonded composite joints.

Additionally, StressCheck is the only FEA tool that was developed with an infrastructure that supports verification and validation of computed information.

ESRD invites you to evaluate the software for 30-days. Contact sales@esrd.com to obtain an evaluation license.
