Serving the Numerical Simulation community since 1989
Stay up to date on the latest news and industry developments from ESRD. This includes conferences, presentations, webinars, publications, benchmarks, industry trends, software updates and more.
Dr. Ivo Babuška, co-founder of ESRD, passed away on April 12, 2023 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He made important contributions to the reliability of finite element methods, the development of a general framework for finite element error estimation, and the development of the p- and hp-versions of the finite element method. We will miss his counsel, his unique insights and quick wit.
In mid-May 2023, ESRD’s Co-Founder and Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó will deliver a keynote presentation at the ASME VVUQ 2023 Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Dr. Szabó’s presentation, entitled “Simulation Governance: An Idea Whose Time Has Come”, will focus on the goals and means of Simulation Governance with reference to mechanical/aerospace engineering practice.
On February 7, 2023 a 2-hour webinar titled “What’s New and Improved in StressCheck Professional” was provided by ESRD’s Brent Lancaster to a group of StressCheck enthusiasts. This webinar provided demonstrations of the “latest and greatest” enhancements in StressCheck v11.1, and a look toward future development activities happening in StressCheck v11.2. In case you missed it, the webinar slides and the webinar recording are now available!
As we continue to adapt to a mix of remote and in-office work, we hope that this past year you found our software products, customer support, training options/courses, “StressCheck Tip of the Week” posts, and e-Learning resources to be helpful and accommodating. We certainly couldn’t do it without your valuable feedback and contributions! We are committed to supporting your current and future engineering endeavors and look forward to what the future holds in 2023.
Happy Holidays from all of us at ESRD, and we hope you’ll check out our year-end summary!
Recently at ASIP 2022 in Phoenix, AZ, ESRD provided a 2-hour training course titled “Best Practices for the Modeling and Analysis of Bonded Doubler Repairs”, presented a technical paper titled “DTA of Bonded Repairs on the Wing Skin of the C-130 Using Finite Elements”, chatted with “patients” at the StressCheck Clinic, and exhibited at our captivating booth inside the Sheraton Phoenix Hotel & Conference Center.
We are also planning a webinar for February 7, 2023 titled “What’s New and Improved in StressCheck Professional”. We hope you can attend this “must-see” event!
Read the summary of conference events, view the ASIP training course content (including the presentation and demo videos), and register for our upcoming webinar.
ESRD, Inc. will be exhibiting, presenting a technical paper (on DTA of bonded repairs) and providing a 2-hour training course in person and virtually at the ASIP Conference 2022 in Phoenix, AZ from November 28-December 1, 2022.
With the release of StressCheck v11.1, we have made tremendous improvements to model rendering, load arrow drawing and load record updating performances to provide the user with maximum efficiency. This release also provides new mixed element meshing functionality in the Crack Front and Boundary Layer methods as well as the all-new Thin Section method, which allow the user to utilize pentahedral and hexahedral elements together with a traditional all-tetrahedral automesh. These improved, high-quality meshes can provide the user more accurate results with less computational cost, especially for fracture and contact problems.
StressCheck v11.1 also boasts improvements for Global-Local analysis in the form of TLAP scaling parameters and improved GUI options for point load/constraint rendering, as well as updates to the COM API functionality and the StressCheck Offline Documentation.
While 2021 continued to present unique challenges and unprecedented disturbances, we hope that you found our customer support, on-demand webinars, web-based training services and overall experience with our team to be refreshingly positive.
Happy Holidays from all of us at ESRD, and we hope you’ll check out our year-end summary!
Recently at ASIP 2021, ESRD provided a training course titled “Standardization and Automation of DaDT Solutions via FEA-Based Sim Apps”, chatted with ASIP attendees, provided a StressCheck Clinic, and exhibited at our booth. After two years of virtual meetings, it was great to re-connect in person!
Read the summary of conference events, and view the ASIP training course content (including the presentation and demo videos). In addition, we encourage you to sign up for our Q1 2022 webinar on “New and Improved Features for 3D Fracture Mechanics Analysis in StressCheck”. You don’t want to miss it!
ESRD, Inc. will be exhibiting and providing a training course on the standardization and automation of DaDT solutions via FEA-based #SimApps at the #ASIP Conference 2021 in Austin, TX from November 29-December 2, 2021.
