Verification & Validation

...

• 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
