5 Basic Question How do we know if the answer computed with a FE code is correct 1? given that: the solution may not be well behaved we may not have similar solutions to compare we may not have access to the source code the code may no longer exist!! 1 i.e. consistent with the mathematical model ASC Workshop, August
