Default FEA is a great tool

For David K.

Out of curiosity, do you strain guage any of your designs and stress them in a way that let's you compare actual results to your FEA results. It would be fun to see pictures of copper wire and strain guages all over one of your test-bed cars.

I suspect that as you push the envelope into more and more billet items with weight reduction as a key goal that there are certainly a few parts or connections that would be fun and valuable to test this way.
