Stress analysis

The Stress analysis module allows calculation of the mechanical stresses, strains and deformations. The mechanical loads in the Stress Analysis module can be specifyed directly and/or imported from other QuickField problems as electromagnetic forces or heat loads. This type of analysis in QuickField is often performed as a final part of more complicated multi-field analysis of electromechanical devices.

Features of the Stress Analysis module:

Plane stress, plane strain, axisymmetric stress problems
Anisotropic elastic properties
Distributed and concentrated loadings
Thermal stresses, magnetic and electric forces
Various support conditions
Results: displacements, stress components, principal stresses, Von Mises, Treska, Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager criteria
