StressCheck Tool Box
The StressCheck Tool Box (SCTB) is a 64-bit stand-alone, Windows-based application which provides a robust, easy to use framework for solving common, but inherently challenging, engineering problems. The current target audience for SCTB applications is engineers who are not experienced in FEA but have a demand for repetitive, but high-quality, solutions in the area of fastened connections. Fully supports Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Key Features and Advantages
- No FEA or StressCheck experience is necessary to successfully run SCTB applications.
- Solutions may be exported and opened in StressCheck Professional.
- Does not require an existing installation of StressCheck to operate.
- Simple to use interface requires minimal training to be productive.
- All applications support SI and US Customary units.
SCTB Applications
Our Single Fastener Analysis Tool (SFAT) provides accurate computation of the joint stiffness, plate stresses, and fastener loads for single or double shear lap joints connected by a single fastener.
Our Multi-Fastener Analysis Tool (MFAT) provides effortless modeling of single or double shear joints, including lap joints, splice joints, and doublers (with or without a repair cutout). MFAT supports metallic and composite plates,and allows for any number of fasteners with neat fit, interference fit or clearance fit.
Our Laminate Cutout Analysis Tool (LCAT) computes the strain distribution around a circular, elliptical, or racetrack cutout in a composite plate subjected to biaxial and shear loading. Additionally, LCAT determines the margin of safety for strain and the orthotropic strain concentration factor.

“Accurate and reliable stresses and Stress Intensity Factors are required for determination of static and residual strength and for crack growth analyses in analysis tools such as AFGROW. For some geometries, industry solutions are either insufficient or nonexistent. The geometry, applied forces, and crack shapes and dimensions must be modeled reasonably well to obtain useful engineering data. The p-version finite element software StressCheck (ESRD, Inc., St. Louis, Missouri, USA) is used to demonstrate how accurate finite element solutions can lead to good quality engineering analysis.”
