Structural stress with solid thermal temperature distribution	Static ⃰/Steady state	Static/Steady state
Solid thermal temperature distribution	Steady state, Time-dependent ⁑	Steady state
Modal	Up to 12 modes	Up to 12 modes
Free-modal	Up to 12 modes	Up to 12 modes
Pre-stressed modal	Up to 12 modes	Up to 12 modes
Fluid flow (iso-thermal)	Steady state, Time-dependent⁑	Steady state
Fluid flow with thermal effects	Steady state, Time-dependent⁑	Steady state
Fluid-solid heat transfer	Steady state, Time-dependent⁑	Steady state
⃰ Linear solutions only
