Verification

Welcome to the WeStatiX verification section! Here you will find some example problems that test the accuracy of WeStatiX. For all of them does exist the model available in WeStatiX and in most of the cases you can also find the tutorial in our documentation, so that you can read how to build it step by step.

Some of these tests have well known solution which you can find in any engineering handbook, other tests come from different sources what will be specified in every section.

In all cases WeStatiX has to match a target value: the accuracy is measured with the following formula:

\(\epsilon =\left( 1 – \frac{\text{WeStatiX Result}}{\text{Target Value}}\right) \)

Here is the list of the examples included in our verification manual

Shells

• Uniformly loaded circular plate
• Uniformly loaded and simply supported square plate
