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.
In the October 2018 issue of NAFEMS Benchmark magazine, ESRD Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó posed a new "FEA Puzzler": Can you determine the progression in spring rate as a 3D coil spring is deformed? And, can you verify the accuracy of your solution? Give it your best shot!

In recent years, Digital Engineering contributor, NAFEMS instructor and FETraining.net developer Tony Abbey has put together a list of practical engineering simulation case studies, walk-thrus and software overviews for a variety of FEA software tools.
Watch as ESRD reproduces a selected set of his 3D detailed stress analysis case studies, and see how we compare with Digital Engineering's published results!

How can the vision for expanding the use of numerical simulation by persons who do not have expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) be safely realized? The solution lies in the establishment of Simulation Governance through the development and dissemination of expert-designed Engineering Simulation Apps. Read more[...]
