Step 7: Verification & Validation
It is very important that you take the time to check the validity of your solution. This section leads you through some of the steps you can take to validate your solution.
Simple Checks
Does the maximum bending stress agree with the theoretical value? Does the reaction force at the support A and B are what we expected? Does the moment at support A and B is zero? We checked this in step 6. Indeed, our FEA solution match well with the theoretical solution.
