To Create a Static Analysis
1. Click
Home >
Analyses and Studies. The
Analyses and Design Studies dialog box opens.
2. Click
File >
New Static. The
Static Analysis Definition dialog box opens.
3. Type a name for the analysis. A description is optional.
4. Select Nonlinear / Use Load Histories to create individual load histories for each load set in an analysis.
If your model contains
nonlinearities, the
Nonlinear / Use Load Histories check box is selected by default. You can create nonlinear analyses of the following types:
◦ Static Analysis of Models with Nonlinear Springs
5. Select a constraint set. To select multiple constraint sets, click the Combine Constraint Sets check box.
6. Select one or more load sets. If you select more than one load set, you can select the
Sum Load Sets check box to merge the loads of all selected load sets.
If your constraint set includes an enforced displacement constraint, you do not need to select a load set.
For models with temperature-dependent material properties you must include structural temperature loads in the same set, or in summed sets, applied to different areas of the model, or MEC/T loads to define the
temperature distribution over the model.
7. Select
Inertia Relief to analyze the model for the specified load sets without applying any constraints. This option is available only for a linear static analysis.
|  If your model is already constrained, Creo Simulate ignores the specified constraints during the analysis. |
8. Select additional options for the static analysis on the following tabs:
9. Click OK to accept the analysis definition.
The Analyses and Design Studies dialog box reappears displaying the name and type of the new analysis.
