Static Linear and Non-Linear Structural Analyses

Static Linear and Non-Linear Structural Analyses

Static structural analyses permit the prediction of deflection, temperature, strain and stress distributions within a component / assembly. This is the most common analysis performed for verification / validation but does not mean that they are always simple in nature. These have evolved to include complex interactions within the analysis (contacts, joints, composites) to
linking with other physics (fluid-structure, electromagnetic-structure). Significant performance insight into a component / assembly can be obtained from a static simulation.
