Consider the following:

Results need not match exactly, which allows for variance.
SW (algorithm, for example) and HyperWorks variations (processors, RAM, for example).
Include sensitivity by checking model robustness.
Qualify a model as a reference model for further studies.
Define a sensitivity corridor.
Parameters to use: Random Nodal Noise.
Changes in physical parameters in sensitivity studies.
Collect sensitivity details so results remain in the sensitivity range/corridor.
Customer specific validation criteria (engineering criteria for validation).
Include the physics of the problem.

HVVH RADIOSS Sensitivity

Check if the model can be considered a reference model for further study. Random noise/sensitivity analysis can be a base run with different seed values. Compare across RADIOSS versions using the sensitivity corridor.

Create and compare (m x n number of solver runs across different options):

Sensitivity corridor.
Response curves (time vs. response).
Statistical details.
