7: Verification and Validation
As we mentioned way back in Step 1, it is important to compare the redAnTs output to your own calculations: if one is very different than the other, neither result can be trusted.
From Pre-Analysis
The rectangle is under uniaxial tension with a load of 75 MPa; therefore, we expect the stress in the x' direction throughout the entire rectangle to be 75 MPa.
From redAnTS
Looking back to your results from redAnTS, we find that the program also found that the principal stress throughout the entire rectangle was 75 MPa, which means we can have some trust in our results.
