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.
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.
Test No: R0031/3OptiStruct examines the z deflection at C, Normal XX stress at C, Normal YY stress at C and Shear stress at E for linear static
analysis.
This problem demonstrates when the loads applied in OS-V: 0532 are factored by 1.1491, a Hill failure index (FI) and
a reserve factor (RF) of unity for ply 1 are obtained.
OS-V: 0500 Laminated Strip Test No. R0031/1OptiStruct examines the bending stress at E, Interlaminar shear stress at D and the z-deflection at E for linear static analysis.
OS-V: 0510 Wrapped Thick Cylinder Test No: R0031/2OptiStruct examines the hoop stress in the inner and outer cylinder at different radius for linear static analysis.
OS-V: 0520 Sandwich Shell Test No: R0031/3OptiStruct examines the z deflection at C, Normal XX stress at C, Normal YY stress at C and Shear stress at E for linear static analysis.
OS-V: 0530 Composite Shell Bending
This problem discusses the composite shells two- or three-layer plate subjected to a sinusoidal distributed load, as described by Pagano (1969).
