Pressure Vessel: Verification and Validation
"Verification and validation" can be thought of as a formal process for checking results. We previously performed some sanity checks on the deformed shape. A further basic check is how the results change on refining the mesh. The following video shows how to recalculate the results on a refined mesh. Note that it comes from a different project, but the procedure is the same.
Mesh refinement results:
From the above table, we see that our results converged with a mesh of element size of 0.1 in.
Comparison with thin and thick-walled theory from the pre-analysis:
