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.
In this tutorial, dynamic analysis on a simple three rigid bodies model is performed using OptiStruct. The force of gravity acts along the global Y axis, and the system has one degree of freedom.
In this tutorial you will work with a slider crank model, which consists of a rigid crank, a flexible connecting rod,
and a rigid sliding block. The objective of this analysis is to determine the deformation and stress of a flexible
connecting rod under the high speed motion of the system.
In this tutorial you will use an existing finite element model to generate a flexible body for use in MotionSolve. You will run the model in OptiStruct.
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.
