StressCheck is a numerical simulation software tool used in the aviation, aerospace and defense industries to solve the most challenging structural analysis problems of solid mechanics, including detailed stress analysis, fixed and joined joints, laminated compounds.
StressCheck is a numerical simulation software tool used in the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries to solve the most challenging structural analysis problems of solid mechanics, including detailed stress analysis, fixed and joined joints, laminated compounds, projected residual stresses, fracture mechanics, and global local workflows.
The underlying technology enables simple, accurate, fast, efficient and reliable high-fidelity analysis (SAFER simulation), especially when compared to legacy generation FEA methods, software, and models. It is the only FEA software product designed to support the Practice of Simulation Governance.
Key features and benefits
The robust formulation of elements in StressCheck allows elements with very large proportions (200: 1 or greater), which is essential for modeling layers by layer of laminated composites and glued composite joints. High-order mapping enables elements to accurately represent the shape of the part, which is extremely valuable for accurate analysis of the stress of single parts and for multibody contact situations, such as joints with multiple fasteners. Various methods of importing loads/offsets from global models are available for local and global stress analysis. The industry's most flexible and comprehensive postprocessor allows analysts to extract any data from the FE solution and assess the convergence of results.
In addition, StressCheck provides a manual framework for deploying standard solutions with reliability confirmation. Users can create a library of parametric templates to serve as a repository for standardization and knowledge of enterprise design. FE-based manual solutions eliminate the need for oversimplified assumptions typical of closed form solutions found in classic manuals, and can be customized to accurately describe real-world problems. Highly reliable and efficient procedures for the extraction of fracture mechanics parameters are available in StressCheck: Stress intensity factors for cracks in corners and in isotropic materials and components of the energy release rate for cracks and delamination in composite materials.
Industrial Applications
Industrial applications are aimed at aerospace engineers, with a primary focus on fatigue and fracture, crack growth, damage tolerance assessment, fixed and joined joints and analysis of laminated compounds.
StressCheck is ideal for supporting processes called the "building block method," "validation pyramid," and "validation hierarchy."
