Stress Analysis
Computes mechanical stress, strain and deformation; loads can be given directly, or imported as electromagnetic forces or thermal loads from another problem.
About This Module
The Stress Analysis module computes mechanical stress, strain and deformation. Mechanical loads in the Stress Analysis module can either be given directly, or imported as electromagnetic forces or thermal loads from another QuickField problem. In QuickField, this kind of analysis is often the final step in a complex multiphysics analysis of an electromechanical device.
