Defiences of design models for engeenering structures
Abstract
Basic types of errors occurring in the design of structures are considered. Particular attention is drawn to errors that could be avoided given appropriate knowledge and experience. A special emphasis is placed on errors occuring during creation of numerical models as it is precisely in in this part of computer design that most practical errors are made. Unavoidable errors are also presented, particulary those that occur while great equation systems are being solved. An attempt is made to provide answer to the question of the extent to which our calculation results can be considered reliable.
