- Linear Structural Analysis
  Analysis that assumes the model is loaded slowly (static) and stresses do not exceed the yield strength of any part material (linear).
  - Check for Rigid Motions in Model
    Check that the model is sufficiently constrained as to remove all rigid body motion.
  - Create Linear Structural Analysis
  - Boundary Conditions
  - Run Analysis
    Solve the Analysis.
  - Results
    Results provide performance insight for the simulation.
- Non-linear Structural Analysis
  Three types of non-linear analysis are currently available: non-linear separating contact, geometric non-linear, and material non-linear.
- Modal Analysis
  Modal analysis evaluates the frequencies and corresponding modes of vibration of your model.
- Dynamics Analysis
  You can evaluate your design in real-time using SimSolid dynamics analysis.
- Thermal Analysis
  Thermal predicts how thermal effects propagate through the model.
- Design Study
  Design studies allow you to quickly evaluate and compare the structural performance from different design scenarios.
- Results Images/Animations
  The Bookmark Browser allows you to capture images of your simulation modeling and results, caption the images, anad export your gallery as image and/or animation files.
