• Check that the solution agrees with the mathematical model
  • Are the boundary conditions on displacement and traction satisfied?
  • Is equilibrium satisfied?
    • Do the reaction forces balance the applied load?
• Check that the numerical error is acceptable
  • Are the ANSYS results reasonably independent of the mesh?
• Compare with hand calculations for the bending stress and maximum displacement
