Welcome to S.A.F.E.R. Simulation – a blog by ESRD! Here, you will find stimulating discussions on topics like Numerical Simulation, Simulation Governance, best practices and lessons learned, technology for the Aerospace & Defense industry, NAFEMS initiatives, and more.
Our blog’s mission is to identify, explore and communicate Numerical Simulation technologies and solutions for the A&D industry that are Simple, Accurate, Fast, Efficient & Reliable.
On February 12, 2020 a webinar on tips & resources for enhancing our users' StressCheck Professional knowledge, titled “Mastering StressCheck: Practical Training Approaches & Online Resources for A&D Engineers”, was provided by ESRD’s Brent Lancaster. In case you missed it, the webinar slides and on-demand recording are now available!

In this S.A.F.E.R. Simulation post, we'll explore Five Key Quality Checks for verifying the accuracy of FEA solutions. To help us drive the conversation in a practical manner, we selected a widely available and well understood benchmark problem to model, solve and perform each Key Quality Check using ESRD's flagship FEA software, StressCheck Professional.
