Tabular static analysis

Simplified analysis where the effect of an immediate change to a system is calculated without regard to the long-term response of the system to that change. Performs a static analysis for a table of cases.

Loads

Open the load case container, where load cases can be defined (CTRL+K on load case to configure).

Configure selected load

Define and configure the load case here.

Force/Moment

Define the direction of the force/moment. By entering 1 in a corresponding direction means that a force/moment is applied in this direction scaled by 1.

Direction Force/Moment
u Force in axial direction
v Force in transversal direction
w Force in normal direction
ru Torque around axial direction
rv Moment around transversal direction
rw Moment around normal direction

Add component acceleration

Adds a component acceleration load case. For example, an acceleration of -9,81 m/s2 in w-direction defines the gravitational force to the selected component.

Add composition acceleration

Add a composition acceleration. The acceleration is used for the whole composition and not for a component only, as in add component acceleration. For example, an acceleration of -9,81 m/s2 in w-direction defines the gravitational force to the composition.

Hint

By right-clicking on the number in the first column, the load can be deleted.

Thermo-Mechanical loads

Open the thermo-mechanical load window.

Include thermo-mechanical loads

Tick the box to be able to include thermo-mechanical loads.

Simulated composition temperature

Select a simulation result of a thermal steady state or transient analysis.

Reference temperature

Define the reference temperature used to calculate the thermal deformation.

Axis position table

Number of poses

Change the number of poses in the table. In the table the positions of the axes can be changed. MORe then performs a static analysis at every case defined. If the number of poses is 2, then 2 static analyses will be performed.

Table

For every pose the position of the axis can be defined.

Load case table

Number of poses

Change the number of poses in the table. In the table weight of the mechanical loads can be changed. MORe then performs a static analysis at every case defined. If the number of poses is 2, then 2 static analyses will be performed.

Table

For every pose the load can be defined.

Thermo mechanical table

Number of poses

Change the number of poses in the table. In the table the steps of the simulation result can be selected.

Example

A thermal steady state analysis was performed with five different environmental temperatures. The number added in the thermo mechanical table then defines which thermal load is used in which pose.
