Static Analysis of Models with Hyperelastic Materials
For a static analysis of a model with hyperelastic materials select the following items on the Static Analysis Definition dialog box:
• Nonlinear options—If your model uses a
hyperelastic material, the
Nonlinear / use load histories check box is selected by default when you open the
Static Analysis Definition dialog box.
Hyperelasticity is highlighted in the
Nonlinear options area. For an analysis of a model with hyperelastic materials,
Creo Simulate always calculates large deformations. If your model has contact interfaces,
Contacts is also highlighted.
• Calculate large deformations—Calculates large deformations by default. You cannot clear this check box.
• Constraints—Allows you to select one or more constraint sets.
• Loads—Allows you to select one or more load sets unless you are using a constraint set with an enforced displacement.
You must also select items on the following tabs on the Static Analysis Definition dialog box:
