HEAT TRANSFER Steady-State Heat Transfer Transient Heat Transfer LINEAR STRUCTURAL Static Stress Fatigue Natural Frequency (Modal) Modal with Load Stiffening Response Spectrum Random Vibration Frequency Response Transient Stress (Modal Superposition/Direct Integration) Critical Buckling Load Dynamic Design Analysis Method (DDAM) NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL Large Displacement Nonlinear Material Models Flexible and Rigid Body Motion Nonlinear Buckling Dynamic Nonlinear Analysis (MES)
MULTIPHYSICS Thermal-structural Coupling Fluid-thermal Coupling* Fluid-structural Coupling Electrostatics-Structural Electrostatics-Thermal (Joule-Heating Effect) Autodesk® Simulation CFD Interoperability Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow® Interoperability
* Fully coupled fluid/thermal analyses can be performed by CFD alone, where temperature affects convective flow and vice versa (so iterative solving is necessary) The Autodesk® Nastran® solver option availble for finite element analysis (FEA)
