I wonder if it's possible/practical to model the mechanical properties using multiple different tools, and check for agreement, along the lines of N-version programming[1] for software. It might get tricky where you're doing extremely specialised stuff where only a single implementation exists, but I suppose you'd have to assign some time to validating your tools personally for your use.
