Stress analysis plays an important role in design of many different mechanical and electrical components. Generally the quantities of interest in stress analysis are displacements, strains and different components of stresses.
QuickField can perform linear stress analysis for 2-D plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric models. The program is based on Navier equations of elasticity. Following options are available for stress analysis:
Material properties: isotropic and orthotropic materials.
Loading sources: concentrated loads, body forces, pressure, thermal strains, and imported electric or magnetic forces from electric or magnetic analysis.
Boundary conditions: prescribed displacements, elastic spring supports.
Postprocessing results: displacements, stress components, principal stresses, von Mises stress, Tresca, Mohr-Coulomb, Drucker-Prager, and Hill criteria.
