Engineering Solver

The Engineering Solver can be used to convert engineering requirements into material properties.

Use the resulting values in a limit stage to select appropriate materials.

You can model the following engineering loading geometries:

  • Tie in Tension
  • Beam in Bending
  • Panel in Bending
  • Shaft in Torsion
  • Column in Compression
  • Helical Spring
