Engineering Software Research and Development, Inc. (ESRD) is organized around the development of advanced numerical simulation software products and offers professional services in the fields of mechanical, aerospace and structural engineering. Identifying the key challenge for providers of engineering software as improvement of the reliability of information generated by numerical simulation, the firmalso focuseson substantially reducing the time required to perform solution verification. This requires the implementation of automatic and objective measures of the quality of the solution for every result of interest to the user, anywhere in the model, and at any time after the solution is available. Primarily engaged in engineering design and analysis, the emphasis is on reliability and advanced finite element analysis with particular focus on development on use of those advanced finite element software tools for aerospace and general engineering applications. ESRDâs software product, StressCheck®, is FEA-based software tool that designed to support simulation governance in the fields of mechanical, aerospace and structural engineerin
