VIRTUAL TESTING / CDS WORKBENCH

Virtual Lab

Composite test methods in CDS Workbench.

ASTM Standards

Each standard opens its specimen setup, CDS results and official ASTM reference.

26 ASTM families represented in CDS. These are instructional calculations or measured-data assessments; consult the actual standard for physical testing procedures.

Two-fastener joint load sharing

Reference only · ASTM D7248/D7248M-23

Compare the fastener forces in the original CDS two-fastener lap-joint exercise using the hybrid joint load-sharing model. This is not a dedicated native ASTM fixture. The study does not reproduce the prescribed test or establish ASTM conformance or experimental validation.

CDS model scope and physical testing

Virtual testing is not physical qualification

These pages explain CDS calculations and measured-data assessments. They do not reproduce ASTM procedures or establish ASTM conformance. Use the licensed standard and a qualified test program for physical measurements.

Eligible coupon and beam cases offer Play test. Analytical test models provide their own curves and metrics and do not support synchronized failure playback. Each standard page explains its available results and limits.
