In mid-May 2023, ESRD’s Co-Founder and Chairman Dr. Barna Szabó delivered a keynote presentation at the ASME VVUQ 2023 Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Dr. Szabó’s presentation, entitled “Simulation Governance: An Idea Whose Time Has Come”, will focus on the goals and means of Simulation Governance with reference to mechanical/aerospace engineering practice.
The abstract of the keynote presentation was as follows:
Mathematical models have become indispensable sources of information on which technical and business decisions are based. It is therefore vitally important for decision-makers to know whether or not they should rely on the predictions of a particular mathematical model.
The presentation will focus on the reliability of information generated by mathematical models. Reliability is ensured through proper application of the procedures of verification, validation and uncertainty quantification. Examples will be presented.
It will be shown that mathematical models are products of open-ended evolutionary processes. One of the key objectives of simulation governance is to establish and maintain a hospitable environment for the evolutionary development of mathematical models. A very substantial unrealized potential exists in numerical simulation technology. It is the responsibility of management to establish conditions that will make realization of that potential possible.

Mixed (hexa/penta/tetra) mesh boundary layer available with the release of StressCheck v11.1
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!
ESRD is hosting webinars on July 17th and July 29th, both at 1:00 pm EST.
Want to learn from the experts in FEA-based Simulation Application (Sim App) development for standardization & automation of complex engineering analysis tasks, such as 3D fatigue crack growth, 3D ply-by-ply laminated composite analysis or other challenging applications you'd like to safely put into the hands of non-experts?
This July, ESRD will be partnering with several industry leaders to provide not one but TWO stimulating webinars on the latest in FEA-based Sim App development.
“At DST Group, we have effectively used StressCheck over the last 10 years to determine accurate stress intensity factors. The results have been used to improve our residual strength and structural life estimates for aircraft in service with the Royal Australian Airforce, including C-130, P-3C and F/A-18 A/B. We have found it to be extremely easy to use and a very versatile code with which to create parametric models.
