Examples

Stress, Thermal, Modal

Complete examples of performing a structural simulation, a modal simulation, or a static thermal simulation are available, as well as the required geometry files: beam geometry, restraint geometry, load geometry.

Assembly Example

A complete example of performing a structural simulation on a multi-material assembly is available, as well as the required geometry files: design geometry, non-design geometry, restraint, load

Performing thermal or modal simulations on assemblies is similar, and requires ensuring that the simulation scenario, boundary conditions, and simulator are valid for the desired type of simulation.

Adaptive Mesh Refinement Example (Beta)

Beta Feature: Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR)

AMR uses octree subdivision of cells based on error metrics to refine the immersed simulation grid locally. It is only compatible with linear elasticity.

A complete example of performing a linear elasticity simulation with Adaptive Mesh Refinement is available, as well as the required geometry files: geometry, restraint 1, restraint 2, load.
