This module features two
methods for analyzing stability problems:
- Calculating structures based on the deflection
theory (equilibrium of the deformed system).
- Determining buckling eigenmodes with the relevant
branching load factors.
With these methods you can analyze all stability problems
such as buckling, toppling and lateral torsional buckling in
beam, area or solid models.
The buckling eigenmodes of a structure, in particular,
can be used to accurately evaluate the stability behavior of
that structure. The calculation yields the failure figure
and the associated load factor. |
