For a general understanding of setting up and solving a model in the Mechanical application, see General Analysis Workflow in the Mechanical User's Guide. For a description of the Mechanical application user interface, see Application Interface in the Mechanical User's Guide.
Note: Note that the features available in the Mechanical UI may differ depending on the solver that is being used.
To perform analyses that are beyond those available using the Workbench system capabilities, you can insert a Commands object in the tree.
