Linear static analysis

The linear static solution type is used to solve small strain/small displacement structural problems, where the loads do not vary with time and the material behavior is linear elastic. Linear static problems can include gaps and contact. The results of a linear static analysis are typically displacements, stresses, strains, forces, and so on. The loads in a linear static analysis can be:

• Surface tractions such as applied forces and pressures.

• Body forces such as weight and inertial forces.

• Enforced (non-zero) displacements.

• Thermally-induced strains.

Supported environments

Pre/Post supports the following linear statics environments:

• Nastran - SOL 101 Linear Statics—Subcase ConstraintsUse this solution type when the constraints differ between subcases.

• Nastran - SOL 101 SuperelementFor more information, see Superelement analysis.
