Analysis

Thermal stress analysis calculates stresses, strains, and displacements due to temperature changes. Fatigue analysis evaluates the effect of cyclic loads on a model over repeated loading and unloading. Frequency analysis calculates natural frequencies and mode shapes, and can help avoid resonance by identifying resonant frequencies. It also provides information to solve dynamic response problems.

Thermal stress analysis

Temperature changes can induce significant stresses in the body. Thermal stress analysis calculates stresses, strains, and displacements due to thermal effects.

Fatigue Analysis
Repeated loading and unloading weakens objects over time, even when the induced stresses are considerably less than the allowable stress limits. Fatigue analysis evaluates the effect of cyclic loads on the model.

Frequency Analysis
A body disturbed from its rest position tends to vibrate at certain frequencies called natural, or resonant frequencies. For each natural frequency, the body takes a certain shape called mode shape. Frequency analysis calculates the natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes. In theory, a body has an infinite number of modes. In FEA, there are theoretically as many modes as degrees of freedom (DOFs). In most cases, only a few modes are considered. Resonance is the excessive response that occurs when a body is subjected to a dynamic load vibrating at one of its natural frequencies. For example, a car with an out-of-balance tire shakes violently at a certain speed due to resonance. The shaking decreases or disappears at other speeds. Another example is that a strong sound, like the voice of an opera singer, can cause a glass to break. Frequency analysis can help you avoid resonance by calculating the resonant frequencies. It also provides information to solve dynamic response problems
