StressCheck-Powered Apps

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.

Would you like to evaluate CAE Handbook or SCTB?

To obtain a no-cost, 30-day evaluation of CAE Handbook and/or StressCheck Tool Box, please complete our Request a Trial Evaluation form and we’ll reach out with more details.

The CAE Handbook library serves as a repository for standardized solutions.

What are StressCheck-powered Apps?

  • CAE Handbook
  • SCTB
  • Customized Apps

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.

ESRD's CAE Handbook supports standardized digital handbook solutions for complex engineering simulations.

**It is prohibited to use trial evaluations of ESRD products to produce for-profit works (Software License Agreement). To ensure a successful trial evaluation, trial evaluations of StressCheck Professional require: 1) attendance in a web-based "Getting Started" workshop or 2) previous usage of StressCheck Professional products as software training is not provided by technical support during trial evaluations. Learn more about web-based training options here. If you are a student or are simply curious about exploring our features, we recommend first downloading & installing the license-free StressCheck Student Version before requesting a formal evaluation of StressCheck Professional.
For more details on the engineering applications supported by our software products, refer to our Applications page.
Provide your 8-digit alphanumeric disk volume serial # for trial evaluation licensing (obtained by opening a command line, typing vol, then Enter).

Testimonials

“We have been having very good success using the P-Version finite element code, StressCheck, to develop the 2-D solutions for two independent cracks in a plate. I have asked one of our AFGROW team members to model the plate and lug cases using StressCheck and compare them to the existing AFGROW closed-form solutions. [He] modeled the cases several different ways to be sure that he was getting the best possible solutions. He has verified that the bearing load option in StressCheck provides excellent results.”
