FE Analysis/Stress and FE Analysis/Thermal Analysis provide the analysis types that are most frequently used at the first design validation level:
• Linear Static Analysis: used to find the stress and displacements of a structure with a given set of loads and constraints.
• P-Linear Static Analysis: Linear Static Analysis with adaptivity using p-elements.
• Linear Static H-Adaptive: Linear Static Analysis with adaptivity using h-elements.
• Modal Analysis: used to find the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a structure.
• P-Modal Analysis: Modal Analysis with adaptivity using p-elements.
• Linear Buckling Analysis: used to find the lowest multiplication factor for the load that will make a structure buckle and to find the shape of the buckled structure.
• Steady State Thermal Analysis: used to find temperature distribution and heat flux.
