Learn how Simulation Governance was introduced, how it came to be one of the Big Issues of NAFEMS, and how ESRD's leadership and other world-renowned simulation experts are using this powerful function for enhancing reliability of modern numerical simulation [...]
In a letter published in Science in 1963, Bernard K. Forscher used the metaphor of building edifices to represent the construction of scientific models, also called laws. These models explain observed phenomena and make predictions beyond the observations made. Building models consistent with the science of numerical simulation should never be confused with finite element modeling, an activity rooted in pre-1970s thinking. We should keep Forscher's metaphor in mind when evaluating claims about the benefits AI integration is expected to bring to numerical simulation.
ESRD is pleased to announce that we've released StressCheck Professional v11 Update 1. In addition to all the improvements introduced with the release of StressCheck v11, in Update 1 we have optimized the Solve and Results panes for maximum efficiency and improved user flow.
“At DST Group, we have effectively used StressCheck over the last 10 years to determine accurate stress intensity factors. The results have been used to improve our residual strength and structural life estimates for aircraft in service with the Royal Australian Airforce, including C-130, P-3C and F/A-18 A/B. We have found it to be extremely easy to use and a very versatile code with which to create parametric models.
We have recently used StressCheck to obtain improved stress intensity factor solutions (Improved stress intensity factors for selected configurations in cracked plates and Improved stress intensity factors for a single corner crack at a loaded fastener hole) for five key generic configurations. These transferable parametric results have been published externally. One specific example is the non-linear contact analysis of a cracked, filled fastener hole, with both fastener and remote plate loading.”
