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. |
| Insert positive buckling factors
only |
Provides you the option to extract only the
positive buckling factors and modes. The solver switches to the
Automatic option with the
FFEPlus solver as the default selection. In cases where the FFEPlus
solver fails to extract any positive buckling factors, the solver
switches to the Intel Direct Sparse. SOLIDWORKS
Simulation does not report any negative buckling factors and
their associated modes that the solver might calculate when you
select this option.
|
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. |
