From all of us at ESRD, we wish you a very happy holiday season! It’s been an incredible year with much to be thankful for, and our StressCheck user community is top of that list! We hope that you and your families enjoy some time away with relaxation, stories from the year past, and excitement for the year coming. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of ours. Cheers!

If you have a few minutes, we’d like to share a few highlights from an action-packed 2024.


Blog Series by Dr. Barna Szabó, ESRD Co-founder

If you’re looking for some quick reads during your holiday break, our Co-founder Dr. Barna Szabó has you covered. Over the past 14 months, he has contributed 22 short articles to the ESRD Blog, with topics ranging from XAI to Isogeometric Analysis. Perfect topics for your dinner party conversation, if you ask us.

XAI Will Force Clear Thinking About the Nature of Mathematical Models
Digital Twins
Certification by Analysis (CbA) — Are we there yet?
Isogeometric Analysis (IGA)
A selection of published blog articles by Dr. Szabó.


StressCheck v12.0 Released

A quick reminder that earlier this year we released StressCheck version 12.0! If you’re ready to upgrade to the latest version, please reach out to your Account Manager or ESRD Support.


ASIP Conference 2024

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our StressCheck booth to say hi at this year’s ASIP Conference! Every year, we look forward to seeing our longtime friends from all over the industry, catching up on each others’ lives, and giving some StressCheck support along the way. We also made many new friends this year, which is wonderful.

Brent Lancaster conducted a Training session on Case Studies in Fracture Mechanics Analysis Using StressCheck v12.0. If you were unable to attend, please reach out to ESRD Support and we will gladly provide you the material.

Testimonials

  • “Small errors in modeling can lead to substantial errors in joint performance prediction. To alleviate this problem, the CAI used the handbook functionality of ESRD Inc.’s (St. Louis, Mo.) trademarked StressCheck P-version finite element software to develop reusable models of typical joints.”

    Dr. John Russell
    Composites World Magazine

Testimonials

“The p-type element has been used to great advantage in the finite element system ESRD StressCheck, [26]. This software provides the engineer with the means to conduct solution verification in an extremely straightforward manner by simply increasing the degree of the element, monitoring convergence and using Richardson extrapolation reliably to estimate the error. This can be conducted automatically by the software thereby enabling the engineer to concentrate on the engineering rather than the simulation. StressCheck has also been used to develop ESRD’s Handbook and Toolbox applications. The first of these provides engineers with a repository of parameterised standard problems of the type found in texts like Roark’s “Formulas for Stress and Strain”, [27]. The second, Toolbox, is a tool that can be used to parameterise a company’s range of components for rapid and reliable analysis by non-expert analysis. Toolbox then is an exemplary of the way in which the democratisation of simulation can be applied.”
