As we continue to adapt to a mix of remote and in-office work, we hope that this past year you found our software products, customer support, training options/courses, “StressCheck Tip of the Week” posts, and e-Learning resources to be helpful and accommodating. We certainly couldn’t do it without your valuable feedback and contributions! We are committed to supporting your current and future engineering endeavors and look forward to what the future holds in 2023.
Happy Holidays from all of us at ESRD, and we hope you’ll check out our year-end summary!
In case you missed it, we are pleased to announce that we’ve released product updates for StressCheck Professional and StressCheck-Powered Apps! Many customer-defined enhancements were added, and the software user experience improved.

With the release of StressCheck v11.1, we have made tremendous improvements to model rendering, load arrow drawing and load record updating performances to provide the user with maximum efficiency. This release also provides new mixed element meshing functionality in the Crack Front and Boundary Layer methods as well as the all-new Thin Section method, which allow the user to utilize pentahedral and hexahedral elements together with a traditional all-tetrahedral automesh. These improved, high-quality meshes can provide the user more accurate results with less computational cost, especially for fracture and contact problems.
StressCheck v11.1 also boasts improvements for Global-Local analysis in the form of TLAP scaling parameters and improved GUI options for point load/constraint rendering, as well as updates to the COM API functionality and the StressCheck Offline Documentation.
ESRD is pleased to announce that we’ve released StressCheck Professional v11 Update 1. In addition to all the improvements introduced with the release of StressCheck v11, in Update 1 we have optimized the Solve and Results panes for maximum efficiency and improved user flow.
Join us for a 2-hour webinar on the latest in StressCheck Professional, as well as what’s currently under development in our next software update. After the webinar, attendees will be encouraged to stay for an open discussion on future development activities.

WEBINAR SUMMARY
We are pleased to announce a 2-hour webinar on February 7, 2023 @ 1:00 pm EST titled “What’s New and Improved in StressCheck Professional“. Demos and briefings will be provided on the following new features and enhancements, as well as features under development for our next release.
StressCheck v11.1 Release
New features and enhancements already available with the latest StressCheck release (v11.1) include but are not limited to:
Support for mixed (tetra/penta/hexa) meshes
Support for parametric scaling of global-local loads
Upgraded infrastructure for faster model rendering and updating
Improvements to load record management and load attribute rendering
Improved strategies for 3D crack automeshing
Improved strategies for 3D stress intensity factor (SIF) computation
Enhancements to support the automeshing of thin parts and domains
New CHM-based offline documentation
New COM API documentation
Latest StressCheck Development Activities
Expected features and enhancements for our next StressCheck release (expected in Summer 2023) will include:
Mesh seeding to guide the Automesh by automatically using pre-existing node locations.
Upgraded toolbar icons for a clear and improved user experience.
New option to select the toolbar icons between 16×16 (default), 20×20 and 24×24 pixels size.
Movable Min/Max labels for Results plotting and extractions.
A Dependencies button on the Parameter pane which lists all dependencies on the selected parameter.
Column sorting and filtering for Parameters pane table including “Go To” to search for parameters.
Predictive text on input fields has been implemented for parameter and formula names.
Enhanced Index controls for filtering and sorting Geometry and Mesh object lists. including “Go To ID…” to access a specific ID.
Improved visualization of Selected status on dropdown lists containing assignment/set records.
Overhauled the Display Objects pane to support selective number ranges and additional object types.
Re-designed color definitions pane.
A list of object IDs belonging to a set “Contents:” and a list of objects that reference the set “Used By:” are now displayed when selecting a record on the Sets page.
Improved consistency of DeLast/Undo functionality
And much more under development!
We will also host a Q&A session at the end of the webinar to allow attendees to interact with and provide feedback to members of our product development team.

On February 7, 2023 a 2-hour webinar titled “What’s New and Improved in StressCheck Professional” was provided by ESRD’s Brent Lancaster to a group of StressCheck enthusiasts. This webinar provided demonstrations of the “latest and greatest” enhancements in StressCheck v11.1, and a look toward future development activities happening in StressCheck v11.2. In case you missed it, the webinar slides and the webinar recording are now available!
In early 2020 ESRD rolled out v2.0 of the StressCheck User Experience survey, and the results have been tallied! Find out what features & applications your peers want to see in a future StressCheck release.
“As the United States Air Force continues to extend the service life of their aircraft the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) has had to refine the methods it uses to analyze and predict fatigue crack growth. Through the use StressCheck, coupled with AFGROW, we in A-10 ASIP have been able to more accurately model, predict and analyze critical aircraft structure for the A-10 and other types of structure for non-A-10 system managers. This also allows us within the A-10 to more accurately assess risk for decision makers, streamline aircraft inductions into scheduled maintenance and reduce cost for total life cycle management.”
