Nonlinear Structural Analysis (ANL) - P2

General Issues

Composite performance The performance of both preprocessing (analysis setup) and postprocessing (image creation) is tied to a combination of the number of elements in the model and the number of composite layers. Performance of both is degraded as a model exceeds about 6000 elements and 10 layers.

Open Issues

Windows 7  Windows 7 is supported by CATIA starting with R20 SP2. However, the Nonlinear Structural Analysis workbench and the embedded Abaqus technology have not been tested for use with this platform.

Documentation

Japanese documentation

The documentation for the Nonlinear Structural Analysis workbench is combined with that for the Thermal Analysis workbench since they share many user interface components. A Japanese PDF copy of the Nonlinear Structural Analysis and Thermal Analysis User’s Manual for R20 SP4 is provided in the following location:
