Prestress Static Analysis
In a prestress static analysis Creo Simulate simulates how a pre-stiffened or prestressed structure affects your model's deformations, stresses, and strains.
For a description of and requirements of a prestress static analysis see Prestress Static Analysis Overview.
The following items appear on the Prestress Static Analysis Definition dialog boxes:
Constraints—Allows you to select one or more constraint sets.
Loads—Allows you to select one or more load sets. You need at least one load set or a constraint set with an enforced displacement.
Inertia Relief—Allows you to run an analysis without specifying any constraints. This option is available only for a linear static analysis.
