Serving the Numerical Simulation community since 1989 
From all of us at ESRD, we wish you and your families a joyful and gingerbread-filled holiday season! As we look back on another year, we are more grateful than ever to have you in our ESRD community. We truly appreciate your continued support and we’re excited to carry our partnership into 2026. May the new year bring happiness, success, and exciting opportunities.
From all of us at ESRD, we wish you a very happy holiday season! It’s been an incredible year with much to be thankful for, and our StressCheck user community is top of that list! We hope that you and your families enjoy some time away with relaxation, stories from the year past, and excitement for the year coming. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of ours. Cheers!
If you have a few minutes, we’d like to share a few highlights from an action-packed 2024.
ESRD is very excited to announce the release of StressCheck Professional Version 12.0! This major release of our flagship FEA solution delivers substantial refinements to the user interface and greatly improves your modeling, simulation, and post-processing workflows. You will experience immediate benefits to your analyses — from start to finish.
From all of us at ESRD, we wish you a very happy holiday season! We truly feel that each and every one of our users are part of the ESRD family and we are incredibly grateful to get to work with all of you.
There is much we are thankful for as we approach the end of the year, and we’d like to take a moment to acknowledge some of the reasons we’re looking back fondly on 2023…
At this year’s ASIP 2023 Conference in Denver, CO, ESRD provided a 2-hour training course titled “Enhancements in StressCheck v12.0 for DaDT Analysis of 3D Fastened Connections”, presented a technical paper titled “Experimental Validation of DTA Modeling of Bonded Wing Skin Repairs”, and passed out 3D printed F-35 and C-130 models at our booth inside the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Conference Center.
Read the summary of conference events, view the ASIP training course content (including the presentation and demo videos), and schedule a preview demo of the upcoming StressCheck v12!
In this final post of our “S.A.F.E.R. Numerical Simulation for Structural Analysis in the Aerospace Industry” series, we will profile the stress analysis software product StressCheck, what makes it different from other FEA software and the applications for which it is used in A&D engineering.[…]
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!
How can the vision for expanding the use of numerical simulation by persons who do not have expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) be safely realized? The solution lies in the establishment of Simulation Governance through the development and dissemination of expert-designed Engineering Simulation Apps. Read more[…]
In this S.A.F.E.R. Simulation post, we’ll explore Five Key Quality Checks for verifying the accuracy of FEA solutions. To help us drive the conversation in a practical manner, we selected a widely available and well understood benchmark problem to model, solve and perform each Key Quality Check using ESRD’s flagship FEA software, StressCheck Professional.
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!
