OptiStruct is a proven, modern structural solver with comprehensive, accurate and scalable solutions for linear and nonlinear
analyses across statics and dynamics, vibrations, acoustics, fatigue, heat transfer, and multiphysics disciplines.
This section presents nonlinear explicit analysis examples generated using OptiStruct. Each example uses a problem description, execution procedures, and results to demonstrate how OptiStruct is used.
The structural FEA solver OptiStruct and VABS are integrated on the Altair HyperWorks platform to analyze slender structures via the latter’s ability to compute the complete set of beam section properties
for an arbitrary cross-sectional shape and material without any ad hoc kinematic assumptions.
The OptiStruct Example Guide is a collection of solved examples for various solution sequences and optimization types and provides
you with examples of the real-world applications and capabilities of OptiStruct.
