My presentation:

Physically accurate simulation is a requirement for initiatives such as late-stage prototyping, additive manufacturing, and digital twinning. The modelling of nonlinear behavior of materials for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can be challenging: difficulty of obtaining pertinent material data, to the correct parameterization of this data into the input files needed by FEA. Too often, the material models are limited and fail to adequately describe the observed material behavior, having been developed for a different material. DatapointLabs discusses its experience helping FEA engineers gain confidence in their material inputs to allow for simulation to replicate real-life physical behavior. The use of mid-stage validation has been shown to be a valuable tool prior to use of simulation for prototype design. Factors such as simulation settings, element type, mesh size, choice of material model, the material model parameter conversion process, quality and suitability of material property data used can all be evaluated. These validations do not use real-life parts, but instead use carefully designed standardized geometries in a controlled physical test that probes the accuracy of the simulation. With this a priori knowledge, it is possible to make meaningful design decisions.
