Structural Analysis in CATIA

Solving Static and Frequency analysis problems in CATIA workbench for Structural Analysis is using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method are discussed which include, steps of FEA analysis, mesh creation, visualization, and control, adding a local mesh, applying loads and constraints, stress and displacement results, explanation of Von Misses vs the principal stress, local and global extrema, converting contour plots from arrow plots, discussion of the convergence of the FEA method, creating reports, animation of the results, image layout, magnification factor, cut-plane analysis, and brief explanation of natural frequencies and mode shapes.
