Performs a Finite Element Analysis on a two dimensional object that is subject to a static load.

Summary
You can calculate stress and deformation in a plane for plates of a given thickness or in a cross section with individual forces and stretching loads.

The following conditions are required to start the AMFEA2D command:
- The contour has to be drawn.
- The internal and external contours should not touch one another.
- The contour or cross section has to create a closed surface.
Note: Multiple FEA tasks are permitted within the same drawing. If the contour changes, a new FEA task has to be solved.
The FEA calculation is controlled by the FEA 2D - Calculation dialog box. You specify the material, the thickness and the border conditions (loads and supports) in view of type, and quantity.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
- Select interior point
- Selects a point within the cross section. The FEA routine automatically finds the external and internal contours enclosed in the area defined by the cross-section.
- Existing
- Recalculates using the existing solution. Use this option if the contour has not changed.
- New
- Deletes the existing solution and starts a new calculation. Use this option if the contour has changed.
