Validation

Before embarking on any analysis, the user should be aware of its limitations. The user should check the validity of the results. Computer models should be as straightforward as possible to minimise the risk of error, and designed to model the effects required by the user, e.g. a model to assess the stiffness of a structure would not necessarily be the same as one to check the strength. It is often good practice to start with a simple model and increase the complexity if the need arises.
