New analysis

This command allows you to create a new analysis in which new loads and conditions to limits can be defined.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select Analysis > New analysis... from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the type of analysis to create (linear static, modal, linear buckling, thermal or thermomechanical).

  2. Name the analysis.

 

 

The linear buckling analysis requires a reference linear static analysis. You must therefore first perform a linear static analysis preparation in the same document.

 

 

 

Available Options:

 

This option turns on the quick solver, which allows you to simply obtain the result quicker. This option is turned on by default and is not available with TopSolid'FEA Express (see table on the presentation page of the module)

 

The linear buckling analysis requires a reference linear static analysis. You must therefore first perform a linear static analysis preparation in the same document.

 

By checking this option, you turn on the wizard for creating the data of this analysis. Therefore, once the command is validated the Analysis validation wizard opens automatically.

 

When analysis of same type already exists creating a new analysis, it is possible to copy its supports and/or its loads.

 

 

Modifications / Additional information:

 

Each newly created analysis appears in the Analysis folder in the entity tree.

Details on all loads and conditions to the limits defined for each analysis are found in this folder.

 

For a linear buckling analysis, the number of modes to calculate is displayed and can be modified from the Analyses > Linear bucking analysis > Options folder.

 

 

 

Simulation datas required to make simulations :

 

Simulation Datas Signification Notation Currents units
Density     kg / dm3
Young modulus Characterize the stiffness of solid material during the phase of elastic deformation (reversible) E GPa
Yield stress Value at which a material begins to deform plastically. (partly reversible) Re, σy, σ0.2 Mpa
Breaking point Maximal value of constraint before the rupture of material Rm MPa
Poisson coefficient Characterize the compressibility of material
These values are between 0 and 0.5 (incompressible material)		 ν Sans unité
Plastic strain ratio, Lankford coefficient

Characterize the anisotropy of rolled sheet metal (difference of behavior according to application direction of constraint) between the rolled place and the thickness direction. It characterize the material formability.

It is measured at 20% of elongation during a traction test.
