Structural Mechanics

(To be removed) Solve linear static, transient, modal analysis, and frequency response problems

Note

Domain-specific structural workflow will be removed. Use Unified Modeling instead. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.

In this workflow, you can only specify and store parameters belonging to structural analysis.
