You can set up and run many different types of analyses in Autodesk Simulation Mechanical. Among them are—linear and nonlinear structural analyses, linear dynamics (natural frequency and vibration/shock response), fatigue, heat transfer, electrostatic, and multiphysics (combining analysis types).
The pages within this branch discuss what the analysis types are, when to use each of them, and how to set the analysis type. You will also find conceptual/theoretical background information and general guidelines or procedures for performing the various analysis types. For additional finite element analysis (FEA) theoretical/background information, also refer to the topics within the Fundamentals branch of the Help.
