How to Compare Analytical and Measured Forces?

[baggiano]

Hello

Suppose we have to compare a set of forces calculated with an analytical model to a set of measured forces.

What in your opinion is a good way to compare the forces? I have noticed that comparing the 3 components of the forces (suppose that we can measure all of the simultaneously) leads to unpleasant relative errors while expressing the relative error of the norms together with the angles between the forces gives a better results.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Is this a strain gauge experiment?

Nope. It is a FEM simulation involving electromagnetic forces

You would need to explain more fully.
