Paramaters to ascertain a models suitability

[mlc3]

Hey

Basically I would like help in what data I would need to gather in order ascertain if a proposed foot design was suitable.

Also I have designed a new model and I would like to compare the two and see which one is better and why.

I already have the maximum stress and strain for each model but this alone doesn't seem enough to give a thorough comparison.

Any help please?

A model is 'better' if it more accurately represents the real world. To do this you'd need some 'real world' data. Failing that, one model would be 'better' if its assumptions were more realistic and appropriate.
