In mid-May 2023, ESRD’s Co-Founder and Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó delivered 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.
The abstract of the keynote presentation was as follows:
Mathematical models have become indispensable sources of information on which technical and business decisions are based. It is therefore vitally important for decision-makers to know whether or not they should rely on the predictions of a particular mathematical model.
The presentation will focus on the reliability of information generated by mathematical models. Reliability is ensured through proper application of the procedures of verification, validation and uncertainty quantification. Examples will be presented.
It will be shown that mathematical models are products of open-ended evolutionary processes. One of the key objectives of simulation governance is to establish and maintain a hospitable environment for the evolutionary development of mathematical models. A very substantial unrealized potential exists in numerical simulation technology. It is the responsibility of management to establish conditions that will make realization of that potential possible.

Building an agentic system on top of legacy finite element modeling practices is like building a skyscraper on quicksand. Any team serious about reaching these capability levels must treat the soundness of numerical simulation as the highest priority, not an afterthought.
We need your vote! ESRD is planning a Summer 2019 webinar on a "hot" Aerospace & Defense application, modeling best practice or StressCheck feature, and we are requesting your participation in selecting the next topic.
Additionally, ESRD is hiring engineers! Check out the job postings at the end of the survey.
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!
When performing parametric structural analysis, ESRD’s p-element StressCheck FEA software is always my preferred choice due to the excellent solution quality, parametric framework, and superior computational efficiency. In fact, I recently used StressCheck to generate stress intensity factors along a parametrically defined elliptical crack-tip across 3,000 unique geometric configurations. Considering multi-body contact was present and all simulations were performed using a laptop, this was a task well suited for StressCheck.
