Summary of available functionality for defining the properties and behavior of parts in the model.
Connections are used to define the association of different regions of interest between parts in an assembly.
Analysis that assumes the model is loaded slowly (static) and stresses do not exceed the yield strength of any part material (linear).
Three types of non-linear analysis are currently available: non-linear separating contact, geometric non-linear, and material non-linear.
You can use Multi-loadcases to run multiple linear structural analyses with common constraints. Linear structural analysis assumes the model is loaded slowly (static) and stresses do not exceed the yield strength of any part material (linear).
Modal analysis evaluates the frequencies and corresponding modes of vibration of your model.
You can evaluate your design in real-time using SimSolid dynamics analysis.
Thermal predicts how thermal effects propagate through the model.
In SimSolid, uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue analysis using SN (stress-life) and EN (strain-life) approach is supported.
The stress-life method works well in predicting fatigue life when the stress level in the structure falls mostly in the elastic range.
The EN Approach uses plastic-elastic strain results to perform strain-life analysis.
Allows for the study of fatigue performance of spot welds in structures.
Use cycle counting to extract discrete simple "equivalent" constant amplitude cycles from a random loading sequence.
Use mean stress correction to account for the effect of non-zero mean stresses.
Palmgren-Miner's linear damage summation rule is used.
