Strategies for mastering StressCheck Professional for a variety of Aerospace & Defense engineering applications, and a review of the available training options and online resources, will be explored.

This webinar is now available to watch on-demand.

WATCH NOW
Whereas most FEA is built on the technology of the 1950's and 1960's, StressCheck is built on active technology and proven to get the right answer faster.

WEBINAR SUMMARY

In this 2 hour webinar we will review training approaches focused on applications to make numerical simulation via finite element analysis S.A.F.E.R. - Simple, Accurate, Fast, Efficient, and Reliable.

WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS

  • Selections from ESRD’s Introduction to StressCheck training course focusing on typical engineering applications for A&D will be previewed, and training options for gaining practical StressCheck experience will be explored.
  • We will have a walk through our rapidly growing and extensive Resource Library, with tips on finding the most applicable tutorial video, best practice, FAQ topic or online resource to support your simulation needs.
  • Case studies of the engineering applications targeted during an Introduction to StressCheck training course, such as multi-body contact, global-local analysis, and proper application of boundary conditions, will be presented.

Testimonials

  • 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.

Testimonials

“Aerospace materials scientists and structural engineers now have a new state-of-the-art software product called StressCheck, which provides efficient and reliable analysis tools for composite bonded aircraft structures. A composites research team from the aeronautics industry, known as the Composites Affordability Initiative (CAI), has just completed an extensive study of current capabilities in the area of failure analysis tools for composite bonded joints. This study led the CAI team to unanimously choose StressCheck as the software tool to replace as well as radically improve existing industry standard software currently used to size bonded joints.”
