Ideal for designers and non-FEA engineers, StressCheck®-Powered Apps represent an upgrade over traditional engineering templates, such as home-grown spreadsheets and over-simplified solutions. With an increasing push for standardization and more simulation governance, ESRD began developing tools like the CAE Handbook and the StressCheck® Tool Box, as well as pioneering customized, FEA-based design templates.
StressCheck®-Powered Apps
StressCheck®-Powered Apps are easy to use and deploy, with no FEA knowledge needed.


CAE Handbook
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a standardized, digital repository of parameterized models frequently used for supporting design decisions? Wouldn’t it be even nicer to have these models developed, documented and certified by experts to conform to best practices? CAE Handbook powered by StressCheck® puts the power of numerical simulation in the hands of designers, engineers and analysts. Meet the FEA tool you have been waiting for.

StressCheck® Tool Box
Through StressCheck® Tool Box you can access smart applications designed for your specific requirements by expert analysts. These are tools that help you improve your designs efficiently, utilizing the latest developments in CAE in a user-friendly environment, with built-in documentation, designed for designers, engineers and analysts.

Custom Applications
ESRD will develop customized engineering tools powered by FEA that can be stand-alone desktop applications or analysis tools that are deployed via Internet through web pages. Contact us to learn more about the many different types of applications developed by ESRD, or to discuss an application development contract for your business needs.

“At DST Group, we have effectively used StressCheck® over the last 10 years to determine accurate stress intensity factors. The results have been used to improve our residual strength and structural life estimates for aircraft in service with the Royal Australian Airforce, including C-130, P-3C and F/A-18 A/B. We have found it to be extremely easy to use and a very versatile code with which to create parametric models.
We have recently used StressCheck® to obtain improved stress intensity factor solutions (Improved stress intensity factors for selected configurations in cracked plates and Improved stress intensity factors for a single corner crack at a loaded fastener hole) for five key generic configurations. These transferable parametric results have been published externally. One specific example is the non-linear contact analysis of a cracked, filled fastener hole, with both fastener and remote plate loading.”
