Inserting a New Buckling Case

Inserting a New Buckling Case allows you to require a buckling modes solution procedure for the computation of the system buckling critical loads and buckling modes for a given Static Analysis Case.

 

Buckling Analysis Case

This task shows you how to insert a new Buckling Case.

This capability is only available with the ELFINI Structural Analysis product

 

You can use the sample00.CATAnalysis document from the samples directory for this task.

 

1. Select Insert -> Buckling Case .

The Buckling Case dialog box is displayed. 

 

2. Select the Static Case Solution (Reference) field to which you will associate your new Buckling Case, and click OK.

You can associate your new Buckling Case either to an existing Static Case or to a new one.

 

The Hide Existing Analysis Cases option allows you to hide all symbols representing physical attributes applied to your part. 

 

3. Set all switches and click OK
A new Buckling Case template (objects sets set) appears in the Finite Element Model specification tree template displayed on the left.

The new Buckling Analysis Case representation consists of the following (empty) object sets:

Static Case Solution
Buckling Case Solution
 

 

  Products Available in Analysis Workbench

By default, the last created (inserted) Analysis Case is set as current, and the corresponding objects set is underlined in the analysis features tree. 

Once a New Analysis Case has been inserted, its Definition parameters cannot be changed.

To modify the Analysis Case Definition parameters you can only replace it (delete followed by insert) in the analysis specification tree.
