Basic Structure Analysis

This 39 page Mechanica tutorial is a great introduction to using Pro/MECHANICA Structure for the first time.

You are now on your way to learn all about how Mechanica works. This will be an insight into FEA using Mechanica. This tutorial will cover the basics, all the tools you will need to do most types of analysis. The main benefit to using Mechanica with Pro E is the ability to have the full integration of the two software packages. All that is needed is a fundamental understanding of materials properties and the basics of stress and strain.

The tutorial begins by demonstrating the proper setup for a Mechanica structural analysis. We introduce concepts such as material properties, setting up constraints, applying loads, and running an analysis. Upon completion, you will understand how to create a contour fringe plot of stresses and how to animate the deformation of a load. Also covered are Mechanica sensitivity and optimization studies for improving your overall products design.
