Type

Static PM_studytype_static.gif Creates a static study to calculate the response of bodies on which loads are applied slowly. The loads remain constant after reaching their full magnitudes.
Frequency Creates a frequency study to calculate the natural frequencies and mode shapes of bodies.
Buckling PM_studytype_buckling.gif Creates a buckling study to calculate the buckling modes and critical buckling loads of bodies.
Thermal thermal.png Creates a thermal study to calculate the temperature distribution in bodies due to conduction, convection, and radiation.
Drop Test PM_studytype_droptest.gif Creates a drop test study to evaluate the effect of the impact of a part or an assembly with a rigid or flexible planar surface.
Fatigue fatigue.png Button Creates a fatigue study to calculate the total life, damage, and load factors due to cyclic loading.
Pressure Vessel Design pressure_vessel.png Creates a pressure vessel design study to combine the results of static studies with the desired factors.
Design Study Creates a Design Study to perform an optimization or evaluate specific scenarios of your design.
Submodeling PM_study_submodeling.png Creates a submodeling study to improve the results at local regions of large models without having to rerun the analysis for the whole model.
Nonlinear PM_studytype_nonlinear.gif Creates a nonlinear study to calculate the nonlinear response of bodies due to applied loads.
Linear Dynamic PM_studytype_lineardynamic.gif Creates a linear dynamic study to calculate the response of bodies by accumulating the contribution of each mode to the loading environment. The loads are not applied slowly and change with time or frequency.

Random vibration - fatigue of random vibration Available for fatigue study. Creates a fatigue study that is based on stress results as a function of frequency from a Dynamic - Random vibration study.
Static Available for nonlinear study.
Dynamic Available for nonlinear study.
Modal Time History Available for linear dynamic study. Creates a study to calculate the response of bodies as a function of time.
Harmonic PM_Harmonic_Study.gif Available for linear dynamic study. Creates a study to calculate the peak steady state response of bodies due to harmonic loads or base excitations.
Random Vibration PM_Random_Study.gif Available for linear dynamic study. Creates a study to calculate the response of bodies due to non-deterministic loads.
Response Spectrum Analysis PM_studytype_ResponseSpectrum.gif Available for linear dynamic study. Creates a study to estimate the response of structures to random or time-dependent loading environments.
