While 2021 continued to present unique challenges and unprecedented disturbances, we hope that you found our customer support, on-demand webinars, web-based training services and overall experience with our team to be refreshingly positive. Happy Holidays from all of us at ESRD, and we hope you'll check out our year-end summary!
Contrary to various claims, IGA is not a new paradigm in the numerical approximation of partial differential equations; it is simply an alternative implementation of the p-version of the finite element method. IGA is one possible implementation of the p-version of the finite element method. Its distinguishing features are: (a) it retains the CAD geometry, (b) the basis functions are the same as those used for CAD representation, typically B-splines or NURBS, and (c) it provides for the enforcement of the inter-element continuity of the derivatives of the basis functions.

“The addition of incremental theory of plasticity in StressCheck has greatly improved our ability to accurately predict the fatigue life of joints with interference fit fasteners and cold worked holes. This ability is especially important, not only in support of maintaining aging aircraft but also in analyzing some of the new cold working techniques that have been introduced in recent years.
Prior to this implementation, analysts often relied on closed-form approximations or simple factors that were often overly conservative and sometimes even unconservative when used in life prediction. Now, not only can we more accurately predict residual stresses in these complex structural joints, but we can also do so in a timely manner given the modeling and analysis efficiency that exists with a p-version FEA code such as StressCheck.”F-15 Structures Manager
