Once you solve a fracture application with StressCheck, you won’t want to use another FEA tool for that purpose again. You will experience ease of use, realize superconvergent extractions and receive the high definition feedback you need to guarantee the reliability and accuracy of the computed stress intensity factors (SIF) and energy release rates (ERR).
Fracture Mechanics Applications
When 3D surface flaws in complex parts need to be analyzed, StressCheck is the logical choice.
StressCheck is ideally suited for damage tolerance and forensic engineers who need the best representation of 2D or 3D SIF’s, ERR’s and beta factors for input in sophisticated crack growth simulations, or when analyzing repairs for mitigation of cracks.

Crack Trajectory and Tendency Analysis
While StressCheck does not perform stand-alone crack growth or propagation, it provides essential functions needed to predict crack trajectories and growth tendencies. Cracks can be parametrically controlled or driven by external API’s.
