The Static Structural system determines the displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in structures or components caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and response conditions are assumed. The loads and the structure's response are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time.
This analysis is configured in the Mechanical application, which uses the Ansys, ABAQUS, or Samcef solver to compute the solution, depending on which system you have selected.
To work through a Static Structural system:
To add a Static Structural analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.
To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select from the context menu.
To view the geometry, right-click the Model cell and select from the context menu or double-click the Model cell.
Alternatively, you can complete this step using the Setup cell.
In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.
See Static Structural Analysis in the Mechanical User's Guide for more information on conducting this analysis.
