But I was curious more at a basic day to day working level. I’ve been experimenting with smaller packages and seemingly getting plausible results, but I was looking more for a model(s) I could duplicate, run and compare my results with “known good” results to determine if my self-learning process is on track … or not.
The models I have been associated with have been correlated back to real world structures. The differences between packages for linear FEA should be down in the weeds, errors are usually from the user. That being said every bit of software I have ever used has a bug list.

Greg,
I fully expect your estimate that the error will be tiny is right on the money … being new to this I need to burn some time assuring I am on the right track.
