Use the Buckling dialog box to specify the
required options for the active buckling study. You can also include flow and
thermal effects in the study.
Options
| Number of buckling modes |
Specifies the number of buckling modes that the solver
calculates. The program calculates the buckling safety factors and
the associated buckling modes. |
Solver
Specifies the solver to perform buckling analysis.
| Automatic Solver Selection |
The software selects the
best
equation solver (Intel Direct Sparse or FFEPlus Iterative) based on:
- Number of modes
- Number of equations
- Load cases
- Mesh Type
- Geometric features
- Contact and connector features
|
| Intel
Direct sparse |
Uses the Mode Extraction Routine powered by the
Intel
Direct Sparse solver to perform buckling analysis.
|
| FFEPlus |
Uses the FFEPlus iterative solver
to perform buckling analysis. |
| Results folder |
Lets you specify the directory to store the simulation results folder. |
