OptiStruct is a proven, modern structural solver with comprehensive, accurate and scalable solutions for linear and nonlinear
analyses across statics and dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, fatigue, heat transfer, and multiphysics disciplines.
The OptiStruct Example Guide is a collection of solved examples for various solution sequences and optimization types and provides
you with examples of the real-world applications and capabilities of OptiStruct.
Taylor TestAn elastic-plastic cylindrical bar impacts a rigid planar target with a high velocity (120-266 m/s). Verify the deformation
results with the real test results.
MacNeal-Harder TestA twisted cantilever beam solved with solid and shell elements using Explicit Analysis. A twisted beam model is made
with each element type to investigate the effect of distorted elements with a high aspect ratio.
OS-V: 1200 Bar Impact Taylor TestAn elastic-plastic cylindrical bar impacts a rigid planar target with a high velocity (120-266 m/s). Verify the deformation results with the real test results.
OS-V: 1205 Twisted Cantilever Beam (Explicit Results) MacNeal-Harder TestA twisted cantilever beam solved with solid and shell elements using Explicit Analysis. A twisted beam model is made with each element type to investigate the effect of distorted elements with a high aspect ratio.
