Just on the point of simulations and not specifically being down on your suggestion of using them but thought people would be interested. I listened to a great podcast from Sean Brady, a forensic structural engineer, who said that if you can’t verify your simulation by doing the maths on paper then you shouldn’t be using it because you don’t understand how it is getting the results. He said that simulation tools allow engineers to make more mistakes faster than ever before because the simulations are complicated to set up and engineers tend to get distracted from what they are trying to simulate by tweaking the parameters until the simulation ‘compiles’ and feel they have achieved the correct result once that happens...
