• Structure—Use this module to evaluate the structural behavior of a part or assembly. This module lets you create structural loads and constraints for your model, then perform static, modal, prestress, buckling, and vibration analyses. You can also evaluate the fatigue life of your model and solve contact problems. You can use this module to solve static problems involving both small and large-deformation and using a wide variety of materials, including isotropic and non-isotropic, linear elastic, non-linear hyperelastic and elasto-plastic materials.

• Thermal—Use this module to evaluate the thermal behavior of a part or assembly. This module lets you apply heat loads, prescribed temperatures, and convection conditions to your model, then perform steady-state or transient thermal analyses. You can use the results of these analyses to study heat transfer in your model. You can also use the results of a thermal analysis as the basis of a temperature load in Structure.
