What Are Your Engineering Analysis Goals?
Are high-resolution stress or strain gradients important to you? Or, any of the following?:
- Stress concentrations for small and/or difficult to analyze features
- Adhesively bonded ply by ply laminated composites details
- 3D stress intensity factors (SIF) for user-defined crack geometries
- Multi-body contact analyses of fastened joints
- Residual stress due to cold-working process
- Global-local analysis of airframe details
- Customized engineering simulation apps
If so, then there is a high probability that we can help you achieve your present (and future) simulation goals with our software products.

“The p-type element has been used to great advantage in the finite element system ESRD StressCheck, [26]. This software provides the engineer with the means to conduct solution verification in an extremely straightforward manner by simply increasing the degree of the element, monitoring convergence and using Richardson extrapolation reliably to estimate the error. This can be conducted automatically by the software thereby enabling the engineer to concentrate on the engineering rather than the simulation. StressCheck has also been used to develop ESRD’s Handbook and Toolbox applications. The first of these provides engineers with a repository of parameterised standard problems of the type found in texts like Roark’s “Formulas for Stress and Strain”, [27]. The second, Toolbox, is a tool that can be used to parameterise a company’s range of components for rapid and reliable analysis by non-expert analysis. Toolbox then is an exemplary of the way in which the democratisation of simulation can be applied.”
