Webinar: High-Fidelity Stress Analysis for S.A.F.E.R. Structural Simulation

Webinar: High-Fidelity Stress Analysis for S.A.F.E.R. Structural Simulation

Dec 14, 2017

December 14, 2017 @ 1:00 pm EST

Strategies in engineering simulation for reducing the frequency, cost, complexity, and uncertainty of aircraft maintenance inspection intervals.

In this webinar we will share advancements in numerical simulation that make the performance of finite element analysis S.A.F.E.R. – Simple, Accurate, Fast, Efficient, and Reliable.

WEBINAR HIGHLIGHTS

  • We will introduce a different approach to numerical simulation that has been developed and commercialized by ESRD which takes much of the art and craft out of finite element modeling.
  • An example engineering design problem from the aviation industry, requiring accurate results around stress concentrations to meet durability requirements for a long crack initiation life, will be presented.
  • LIVE DEMO: You will see a demonstration of ESRD’s StressCheck and its live dynamic results mining of any value of interest, anywhere throughout the model regardless of the mesh topology, as rapid design changes are conducted, evaluated and parametrically iterated.

Testimonials

  • “We used StressCheck on two projects last year, and we were very happy with it. I thank your engineers who provided their insights and suggestions for us during these projects. We really appreciate your team’s contributions this year to the Navy P-8 project. We look forward to working with ESRD again during next year on other Navy projects.”

    Dr. Nagaraja Iyyer
    Director of Engineering, Technical Data Analysis, Inc.

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.”
